March 2016 Book Selection

Join the North Providence Mystery Book Club on Tuesday March 1, 2016 when we will discuss Mr. Churchill's Secretary by Susan Elia Macneal. This is the first book featuring Maggie Hope, a young intelligent woman who was born in England, but raised by her aunt in Boston after her parents were killed in an automobile accident. She returns to London in 1940 to sell her grandmother's house, and gets caught up in the war, securing a job as secretary to none other than Winston Churchill.
The synopsis from the author's website is: "May 1940. As England stands alone against imminent Nazi invasion, betrayal and treachery threaten to bring her down from within. Maggie Hope, a young American in London, finds work as a secretary to the newly appointed Prime Minister Winston Churchill. When the P.M. is threatened by assassination, Maggie is thrown into the worlds of spies, secret agents, code-breaking and betrayal. As she searches for her missing father, she finds herself in the center of a conspiracy to murder the Prime Minister and destroy England. Racing from the damp streets of London to the hallowed halls of Trinity College to the code-breaker's huts of Bletchley Park, Maggie struggles with the brute realities of a world at war. She penetrates the heart of an undercover spy ring, and despite revelations of the most horrific kind, carries out one of the war's most deadly missions."
Please join us in the Second Floor Meeting Room at 7:00 PM.
