The MUM Book Discussion group will next meet on Friday, April 24. Our title is Murder Takes a Vacation by Laura Lippman. Here is a brief summary:
"[A]n irresistible mystery featuring Muriel Blossom, a former private investigator and middle-aged widow whose vacation on a Parisian river cruise turns into a deadly international mystery...that only she can solve." (publisher)
Here is where you can find the book:
- There are no copies available at Miami or OhioLINK, but ---- use Miami University Libraries Search to search both of those catalogs, plus ---- SearchOhio is back, and they have copies! It is now incorporated into the Miami University Libraries Search (if you search in "Everything" from the search menu). Once again we have access to the holdings of many Ohio public libraries in addition to our usual academic options. You may also access SearchOhio through your local public library.
- Amazon has the hardcover, paperback, and Kindle available, and Bookshop.org has links to purchase the title from independent booksellers.
We will meet at 11:30 am on the 24th both in Room 123 in the Library and on Zoom. Join the Zoom here!
