The Second Saturday Book Club for adults will focus on different genres throughout the year and meets on the second Saturday morning each month at the Goshen Library to chat about the current book. December's genre will be Cozy Holiday Mystery and our selection is A Christmas Beginning by Anne Perry. You can pick up a copy of the book at your preferred branch. Registration required (see below). Please add a note to your registration if you don't need a copy of the book. If you have any questions, please email Brian at brianw@oldhampl.org. Coffee and snacks provided.
Superintendent Runcorn of Scotland Yard is spending Christmas on the wild and beautiful island of Anglesey off the north coast of Wales. On one of his solitary strolls, the lonely bachelor stumbles upon a lifeless body in the village churchyard. The unfortunate victim is quickly identified as Olivia Costain, the local vicar’s younger sister.
In life, Olivia had been a free spirit, full of charm and grace. For Runcorn, she is a haunting reminder of Melisande Ewart, the one woman he’s never been able to forget. Everyone on Anglesey is quick to insist that only a stranger to the island could have committed the heinous crime. But the evidence proves otherwise, and the unpopular work of discovering who among Olivia’s friends and neighbors–and numerous eligible suitors–is a ruthless killer falls to Runcorn. A plebian outsider in the drawing rooms of the snobbish local gentry, Runcorn never dreams that the key that will unlock the secrets of Olivia’s life and death may also, miraculously, open the door to a new future for himself.
