The Booked on Crime book club meets every third Thursday of the month at 6:00 PM.
Join us each month in the UL room to discuss a mystery, thriller or true crime book. We pick our books about three months out so if you join us in the next few sessions you can help influence what we'll read. We have been lucky to get some authors to Zoom in to our meetings.
January 19: The Bone Canyon by Lee Goldberg
Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department homicide detective Eve Ronin investigates the cold-case disappearance and death of a woman whose remains are found in the aftermath of a Santa Monica Mountains fire.
February 16: The Violin Conspiracy by Brendan Slocumb
Ray McMillian loves playing the violin more than anything, and nothing will stop him from pursuing his dream of becoming a professional musician. Not his mother, who thinks he should get a real job, not the fact that he can't afford a high-caliber violin, not the racism inherent in the classical music world. And when he makes the startling discovery that his great-grandfather's fiddle is actually a priceless Stradivarius, his star begins to rise.
March 16: Triptych by Karin Slaughter
Troubled by a rocky marriage and the recent loss of his partner, Atlanta detective Michael Ormewood launches an investigation into the savage murder of a local woman, but for ex-con John Shelley, desperate to prove his innocence, the nightmare has just begun.
We'll meet in the Upper Level Meeting Room.
Burlingame Book Club
