“Tea Time Cozies” Mystery Book Club

You are invited to join the Walkertown Branch Library’s cozy mystery book club, the “Tea Time Cozies.” Library staff and other mystery lovers will meet for a monthly discussion of a selected cozy mystery title and a nice cup of tea.

Cozies are a sub-genre of mysteries that feature an amateur detective who attempts to solve a community-based mystery. Add quirky characters, red herrings, an animal companion or two, maybe a food or library theme, and potentially a sleuthing cozy companion…and voila! A cozy mystery.

We'll be meeting every 4th Wednesday of the month, starting at 4 p.m., at the Walkertown Branch Library. Registration is suggested but not required.

Bait and Witch by Angela Sanders

Josie Way loved working among the Library of Congress’s leather-scented stacks—until she uncovered corruption and made herself a target. As Wilfred, Oregon’s new librarian, Josie can stay undercover until the case goes to court. But life in this little town isn’t as subdued as she expected. The library, housed in a Victorian mansion, is slated to be bulldozed. Still digesting the news that her safe haven is about to become scrap lumber; Josie discovers a body in the woods . . .

Almost as shocking, Josie learns that she’s descended from a long line of witches—and her powers have suddenly sprung to life. With help from a spoiled alley cat who just may be her familiar, Josie’s thumbing through a catalog of suspects, hoping she can conjure a way to save her library—and her life. . .
