Mrs Maloney, in the Library with the Golden Dagger 

This term we are reading a plethora of Agatha Christie works, both those written by her and those written in her style or in tribute to her. Within this collection there is, I hope, something for everyone-whether you have lots of time to read and devour crime fiction or are keen to read and take part but don't have time for 400+ pages. Even if you are an avid Christie reader and have read the complete works, hopefully, within the books written in her style, you will find something new.

Whatever you read, we'd love to see you here at Book Club on Wednesday 12th November (note the change of date; Bonfire night was a bad choice in hindsight!) We will start gathering in the library from 6pm and our conversations will start at 6.30pm. Feel free to bring drinks and/or any nut free nibbles of your choice. 

This term, read any or all of the following:
