Maryland Room

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.

This month's selection is The Author's Guide to Murder by Beatriz Williams, Lauren Willig, and Karen White.

Literary superstar Brett Saffron Presley purchased Castle Kinloch, located on a remote island in the Scottish Highlands, in order to showcase his brand and lure in paying guests with a taste for writerly glamour. Now it seems, the castle or one of his guests have done him in. Detective Chief Inspector Euan McIntosh finds himself with the task of extracting statements from three American lady novelists (did we mention that McIntosh has no love for literary Americans?). The women claim to be best friends and co-writers of a new book, but their stories don't seem to quite line up and the detective can't shake his suspicions that something more is going on here....
