We read true crime, all the time. Hooked on true crime? Find yourself talking about it with others who just don’t get the appeal? Feel a bit guilty (and sometimes odd) about your fascination? Then this book club is for you! We’ll read and discuss true crime cases, both historical and contemporary, cold and solved, as well as the psychology behind it all. Not for the faint of heart.

This group will meet bimonthly, the fourth Tuesday of the month, at 7pm, in the Woods Branch Story Time Room. 

This group is full. Please email malmaguer@grossepointelibrary.org and you'll be added to the wait list. When a space opens, you will be notified.
