Club Details
Join us!
The Wilkes Mystery Book Club is for those of us who love true crime, thrillers, and mysteries of all kinds but don't have time for face-to-face book club meetings. Each month, we will read a different book. Copies of each month's selection will be available at the library a month in advance, or you may choose to download the eBook via our Libby app. You can join us for a book discussion virtually in our Goodreads discussion forum (https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/1066171-wilkes-mystery-book-club) whenever you have time and no matter what you're wearing!
