We don't read a book for the December meeting. Instead we bring snacks, books to trade or give away and talk about our favorite books of the year. As promised here is the list of the books the group members presented. Note: they are not all mysteries, they are not all fiction. (Whaaat?)
It was impossible to take notes on what each book was about or what the members liked about the books they talked about. I will give a little info on the books I mentioned, though.
My favorites first:
Sherlock Holmes and the Twelve Days of Christmas: An enthralling collection of festive mysteries by Roger Riccard. This just came out December 1. (I just posted a review here also. See the post for more info.)
The Artisan Heart by Dean Mayes: Not a mystery but a feel good book with a bit of suspense.
The Slim Hardy series by Jack Benton (Chris Ward)
Book One: The Man by the Sea
Book Two: The Clockmaker's Secret
I am anxiously awaiting Book Three in this series.
Ok here is the rest of the list. No particular order and as I said, not all mysteries or fiction. But I thought you might be interested in what other books our MBC reads.
