May 2023 Book Selection

Join the North Providence Mystery Book Club on Tuesday May 2, 2023 as we discuss Blind Goddess by Anne Holt. This is the first book featuring Detective Inspector Hanne Wilhelmsen, an officer in the Oslo, Norway Police Department.

The book’s description from the author’s website is, “A drug dealer is battered to death in the outskirts of Oslo. A young Dutch student, covered in blood, walks aimlessly through the streets of the city. He is taken into custody, but refuses to speak. Five days later a shady criminal lawyer called Hans Olsen is murdered. The two deaths don’t seem related, but Detective Inspector Hanne Wilhelmsen is unconvinced. Soon, she uncovers a link between the bodies: Olsen defended the drug dealer. But there are powerful forces working against Hanne; a conspiracy that reaches far beyond a crooked lawyer and a small-time dealer. The investigation will take her into the offices of the most powerful men in Norway – and even put her own life at risk…”

           We will be meeting at 6:30 pm in the Second Floor Meeting Room and on Zoom. For more information, contact Sara at the Reference Desk.
