Plano Reads: Mysteries

This month for our Mystery Book Club, it’s What Are You Reading? style, and we have some recommendations.

Join a live, virtual discussion of this month’s theme: What Mystery Are You Reading Now? on Thursday, July 16 at 7 p.m. Register here.

Two of our Librarians who lead the Mystery Book Club, Emery and Peter, have put together a list of what they’re currently reading and mysteries they recommend.

Use our online catalog to search for titles you are interested in and place a request for curb-side pick-up; otherwise, use our eBook and eAudiobook collection via Overdrive and the Libby app.
