You are invited to join the Walkertown Branch Library’s cozy mystery book club, the “Tea Time Cozies.” Library staff and other mystery lovers will meet for a monthly discussion of a selected cozy mystery title and a nice cup of tea.
Cozies are a sub-genre of mysteries that feature an amateur detective who attempts to solve a community-based mystery. Add quirky characters, red herrings, an animal companion or two, maybe a food or library theme, and potentially a sleuthing cozy companion…and voila! A cozy mystery.
We'll be meeting every 4th Wednesday of the month, starting at 4 p.m., at the Walkertown Branch Library. Registration is suggested but not required.
Josie Way loved working among the Library of Congress’s leather-scented stacks—until she uncovered corruption and made herself a target. As Wilfred, Oregon’s new librarian, Josie can stay undercover until the case goes to court. But life in this little town isn’t as subdued as she expected. The library, housed in a Victorian mansion, is slated to be bulldozed. Still digesting the news that her safe haven is about to become scrap lumber; Josie discovers a body in the woods . . .
Almost as shocking, Josie learns that she’s descended from a long line of witches—and her powers have suddenly sprung to life. With help from a spoiled alley cat who just may be her familiar, Josie’s thumbing through a catalog of suspects, hoping she can conjure a way to save her library—and her life. . .
