Whodunnits In-Person

WhoDunnits is a discussion group devoted to mysteries of all kinds. The group explores a diverse array of subgenres, geographic locations, and historical periods. Though occasionally members are encouraged to share a mystery they've read (Free Reads), most months focus on a single book read by the whole group. The WhoDunnits mystery book club meets on the first Tuesday of the month. 

This month's read: The Woman Who Spoke to Spirits by Alys Clare

London, 1880. When accounts clerk Ernest Stibbins approaches the World's End investigation bureau with wild claims that his wife Albertina has been warned by her spirit guides that someone is out to harm her, the bureau's owner Lily Raynor and her new employee Felix Wilbraham are initially sceptical. How are the two private enquiry agents supposed to investigate threats from beyond the grave? But after she attends a seance at the Stibbins family home, Lily comes to realize that Albertina is in terrible danger. And very soon so too is Lily herself.

"A marvelous addition to Clare's varied repertoire of historical mysteries (The Angel in the Glass, 2018, etc.) introduces two captivating new detectives and features a surprising denouement." -- Kirkus Reviews

"Set in London during the Victorian period, Clare’s latest is engaging, dark, atmospheric, and, at times, quite charming and humorous." -- Booklist
