Join the North Providence Mystery
Book Club on Tuesday January 3, 2023. We will be discussing The Killings at
Badger’s Drift by Caroline Graham. This is the first book featuring Chief
Inspector Barnaby and Sergeant Troy. This book and others by Caroline Graham
are the inspiration for the popular television series Midsomer Murders.
The book synopsis is “The village
of Badger's Drift is the essence of tranquility. But when resident and
well-loved spinster Miss Simpson takes a stroll in the nearby woods, she
stumbles across something she was never meant to see, and there's only one way
to keep her quiet. Miss Simpson's death is not suspicious, say the villagers.
But Miss Lucy Bellringer refuses to rest: her friend has been murdered. She is
sure of it. She calls on Detective Chief Inspector Barnaby to investigate, and
it isn't long until the previously unseen seamy side of Badger's Drift is
brought to light. But as old rivalries, past loves and new scandals surface,
the next murder is not far away.”
We will meet in the Second Floor
Meeting Room at 6:30 pm and through Zoom. For more information, please see Sara
at the Reference Desk.
