Tonight is mystery book club night. A group of us usually meet to eat before the book club, then head on to the Barnes and Noble for the meeting. Which his what we did tonight. The book we read for tonight is Murder at the Breakers by Alyssa Maxwell http://www.alyssamaxwell.com/#!books/cnec. The general consensus was the book was fun to read. I have been to Newport and the Breakers. There is one other member of the group who has been to Newport and the Breakers. We agreed it was fun to read a mystery about places we had been. I could imagine the narrow, windy streets of Newport. One of the members researched the Vanderbilt family history, and confirmed the veracity of the Vanderbilts, and that they even had a distant relative with the last name of Cross, the last name of the book protagonist. So that was neat!
We have read several "sweet" mysteries with historical content. So we selected a different type of book for June. The selection is Close to the Bone by Stuart MacBride http://www.stuartmacbride.com/. I have read another book by him, Cold Granite. It was darker and deeper than some books I read, but it was good. I will miss the June meeting because of previous plans, but I will read the book. It has been my intention to read more of Stuart MacBride's books.
