Pamplin Depot Adult Book Club

August 11th, Tuesday – Jamerson Library’s Pamplin Depot Adult Book Club starting at 3:00 pm. Meet us at the Depot as the Library features the book “The Queen of Crimes” by Marie Benedict. London, 1930. The five greatest women crime writers have banded together to form a secret society with a single goal: to show they are no longer willing to be treated as second class citizens by their male counterparts in the legendary Detection Club. Led by the formidable Dorothy L. Sayers, the group includes Agatha Christie, Ngaio Marsh, Margery Allingham and Baroness Emma Orczy. They call themselves the Queens of Crime. Their plan? Solve an actual murder, that of a young woman found strangled in a park in France who may have connections leading to the highest levels of the British establishment. There are copies of this book available at the Pamplin Town Office.
