Death by the Book, Cary Library’s mystery book group meets on the second Monday of the month, from 10:00 – 11:30 a.m. in the Learning Center at the Main Library.

Each month, the group will explore a new sub-genre within the mystery field. A month prior to each meeting, a librarian will compile a list of titles that fall within the upcoming subgenre. Along with the list, library owned copies of the books will be placed on prominent display in the library. Anyone interested in joining in on a discussion should read at least one book within the month’s sub-genre and come prepared to share their thoughts on the title with others in the group. Upcoming topics to be covered include the following:
