Join the North Providence Mystery Book Club on Tuesday October 3, 2023. We will be discussing Roseanna by Maj Sjowall and Per Wahloo. This is the first of ten books, written in the 1960s and 1970s, featuring Swedish detective Martin Beck.
The book’s description from the publisher’s website is: “On
a July afternoon, a young woman’s body is dredged from Sweden’s beautiful Lake
Vattern. With no clues Beck begins an investigation not only to uncover a
murderer but also to discover who the victim was. Three months later, all Beck
knows is that her name was Roseanna and that she could have been strangled by
any one of eighty-five people on a cruise. As the melancholic Beck narrows the
list of suspects, he is drawn increasingly to the enigma of the victim, a
free-spirited traveler with a penchant for casual sex, and to the
psychopathology of a murderer with a distinctive–indeed, terrifying–sense of
propriety.”
We will be meeting in the Second Floor Meeting room at 6:30
pm and on Zoom. For more information, contact Sara at the Reference Desk.
