Mystery book discussion

Join friends and neighbors at the East Meadow Library at 7:30 p.m. on Feb. 22 for a discussion on Anthony Horowitz’s novel “Magpie Murders.” When editor Susan Ryeland is given the manuscript of Alan Conway’s latest novel, she has no reason to think it will be much different from any of his others. Conway’s latest tale has Atticus Pünd investigating a murder at Pye Hall, a local manor house. Yes, there are dead bodies and a host of intriguing suspects, but the more Susan reads, the more she’s convinced that there is another story hidden in the pages of the manuscript: one of real-life jealousy, greed, ruthless ambition, and murder. Books will be available in the Browsing Room.
