Meeting Room 1

Join us to discuss a different cozy mystery on the 3rd Thursday of each month at the Leonardtown Library. Be ready to talk about a genre that puts us all at ease while keeping us on our toes.

Did you know we’ve officially been doing our Cozy Mystery Book Club for TWO YEARS? Our very first book selection was The Murder at the Vicarage by Agatha Christie, so let’s celebrate with another of Christie’s classics!

This month’s selection is The Mysterious Affair at Styles by Agatha Christie (1920), which was her first published novel and the debut of famous Belgian sleuth Hercule Poirot.

A refugee of the Great War, Poirot has settled in England near Styles Court, the estate of his wealthy and elderly benefactor, Emily Inglethorp. When Emily is poisoned, leaving the authorities baffled, Poirot must put his prodigious skills to work. Suspects are plentiful and they all have secrets to keep, but no one can outwit Poirot, no matter how many red herrings and plot twists come his way.
