Calling all armchair detectives to our new True Crime Book Discussion! Each month we will investigate a new story that proves fact is almost always scarier than fiction. Grab your notepads and stakeout snacks because the game is afoot! Books can be obtained digitally through Overdrive and/or Hoopla, or a limited number of copies will be available from the library. Patrons may choose to attend virtually through Zoom or in-person at the library.

Assassination Vacation by Sarah Vowell
In this engaging and highly unusual travelogue, journalist Sarah Vowell explores the history of American presidential assassinations. From the Florida Keys all the way to Alaska, Vowell visits assassination sites, museums, prisons, monuments, and even a religious commune. Along the way she shares strange-but-true historical facts -- for instance, did you know that Robert Todd Lincoln, "a.k.a. Jinxy McDeath," was present at several presidential assassinations? -- and offers keen observations about history, politics, and the connection of the past to the present. (NoveList)
