Join the North Providence Mystery Book Club on Tuesday
January 8, 2019. We will be reading Wish You Were Here by Rita Mae
Brown. This is the first book featuring the cat Mrs. Murphy and “Harry”
Haristeen her human.
The book description from the publisher’s website is, “Curiosity
just might be the death of Mrs. Murphy–and her human companion, Mary Minor
"Harry" Haristeen. Small towns
are like families: Everyone lives very
close together, and everyone keeps secrets.
Crozet, Virginia, is a typical small town-until its secrets explode into
murder. Crozet’s thirty-something
post-mistress, Mary Minor "Harry" Haristeen, has a tiger cat (Mrs.
Murphy) and a Welsh corgi (Tucker), a pending divorce, and a bad habit of
reading postcards not addressed to her.
When Crozet’s citizens start turning up murdered, Harry remembers that
each received a card with a tombstone on the front and the message "Wish
you were here" on the back. Intent
on protecting their human friend, Mrs. Murphy and Tucker begin to scent out
clues. Meanwhile, Harry is conducting
her own investigation, unaware her pets are one step ahead of her. If only Mrs. Murphy could alert her somehow,
Harry could uncover the culprit before the murder occurs–and before Harry finds
herself on the killer’s mailing list.”
We will be meeting in the Second Floor Meeting room at
7:00pm. We meeting on the second Tuesday instead of the first because the first
Tuesday is New Year’s Day. Have a happy holiday season.
