November 2020 Book Selection

Join the North Providence Mystery Book Club on Tuesday November 10, 2020. We will be discussing Above Suspicion by Lynda La Plante. This is the first book featuring Detective Anna Travis. Lynda La Plante is known for creating the character Jane Tennison. 

The synopsis from the author’s website is “Young Anna Travis has been assigned to her first murder case – a series of killings that has shocked even the most hardened of detectives. They started eight years ago, and now the body count is up to six. The method of killing is the same, the backgrounds of the girls identical – all drug-users and prostitutes. Then a seventh body is found. The modus operandi is the same – but the victim is a young student with the ‘face of an angel’. The profile of the murderer has changed dramatically… Determined to earn the respect of her male colleagues, Anna stumbles on a vital piece of information that links one man to the killings, a much-loved actor on the brink of international stardom. His arrest would create a media frenzy. But if he were found innocent, his wouldn’t be the only career over – Anna’s hard-fought reputation would be destroyed once and for all…” 

We will be meeting on the second Tuesday, since the first is Election Day.  We will be meeting at 6:30 pm using the Zoom App.
