Mysteries on Both Sides of the Pond
Book Discussion Series to begin October 28th
"Mysteries on Both Sides of the Pond" is a book discussion series offered through the support of the New Hampshire Humanities Council. 
 
St. Alban's Fire by Archer Mayor will be discussed on Tuesday, Nov. 18th at 7 PM.   In St. Alban's Fire , Vermont police hero Lt. Joe Gunther investigates suspicious fires that have occurred around Burlington, VT which have resulted in the deaths of one teenager and a herd of dairy cows.  Are the fires coincidental or the work of a clever arsonist?  The fast-paced plot will keep readers guessing until the end! 
 
Copies of this book are available at the library. Check one out for a great read, then join in the discussion led by Matthew Winkler of Granite State College.
