Get a Closer Look at the Scene of the Crime

The Rowayton Library will be holding its last session of the bookgroup “Scene of the Crime, Wednesday evening, December 19 @ 7pm and the book is  -- Smilla's Sense of Snow by Peter Hoeg  - Pick up a copy at the Circulation Desk .   

What mystery reader does not feel at home in the familiar surroundings of 221B Baker Street or strolling the village streets of St. Mary Mead? And who has not sensed the perils of the mean streets of Chandler's Los Angeles or Paretsky's Chicago? Setting has marked importance in many mystery novels. 

This series looks at novels in some less familiar settings, both geographical and cultural. In many cases the writers have used the settings to create mood, to affect plot, to illuminate characters, and to highlight thematic concerns.  Diana Loevy will lead discussions. Refreshments will be served. Multiple copies of the books are available at the Library. This program is made possible -- in part -- by CT Humanities.
