Book Club Meetings Schedule

Thursday Classic Mystery Book Club

For the April meeting, the group will read “The New Shoe” by Arthur Upfield. Join the discussion on Thursday, April 16 at 2 p.m. in the Board Room, Civic Center Library, 1188 S. Livermore Ave. Registration is not required to attend the meeting.

In this delightful series, Detective Inspector Napoleon Bonaparte (known to his friends as Bony) roams the Australian Outback in pursuit of killers who have not been apprehended by ordinary police work. Bony's father was white, his mother an Aboriginal, so he is both well-schooled in European culture and adept at reading the stories told by faint footprints in the sand. "The New Shoe" finds Bony at Split Point Lighthouse, where a nude body was found weeks before. Although the police circulated photos of the dead man to the newspapers, he remains unidentified. But nothing can stop Bony from digging up well-hidden secrets.
