Tahlequah Public Library is pleased to announce that thanks to a generous grant from Oklahoma Humanities and the National Endowment for the Humanities, we are hosting a "Let's Talk About It" discussion program!
Join us each month as experts guide us through each text and we discuss themes, historical context and revelations about the authors lives.
THEME: Oklahoma Private Investigations
The best crime and mystery novels are situated in “place.” As you will see from these varied plots, mystery and investigation stories find a ready home in Oklahoma and provide a window on the character of the state.
