Join us for lively, respectful discussions and sharing of opinions, ideas and thoughts. (Even if you didn't like the book or finish it!) We meet on the 3rd Monday of each month at 1:30pm (unless there's a holiday). Book choices are generally available at the Pleasantville Library. Just mention the Clinton Street Center book club.

May 20th The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman
In a peaceful retirement village, four unlikely friends meet up once a week to investigate unsolved murders.
But when a brutal killing takes place on their very doorstep, the Thursday Murder Club find themselves in the middle of their first live case. Elizabeth, Joyce, Ibrahim and Ron might be pushing eighty but they still have a few tricks up their sleeves.
Can our unorthodox but brilliant gang catch the killer before it's too late?

It is 1985 in a small Irish town. During the weeks leading up to Christmas, Bill Furlong, a coal merchant and family man faces into his busiest season. Early one morning, while delivering an order to the local convent, Bill makes a discovery which forces him to confront both his past and the complicit silences of a town controlled by the church.
