Murder and Mayhem Book Club
People love true crime. Sometimes it’s because it gives us an insight into why other people may act the way they do, and sometimes it’s because it allows us to examine the darker sides of humanity from a safe distance. We can vicariously experience extreme situations from the safety of our home. With the Murder and Mayhem book club, you can face the dark with a friend at your side and a coffee in hand.

Read or listen to the book, and then meet with us as we talk about culture, crime, and the things we try to do to prevent it.
The Murder and Mayhem True Crime Book Club meets at in the Civic League Room on the first Thursday of every month. The meeting starts at 5:30pm, and ends at 7pm at the latest. This is an Adult’s book club; you must be 18 or older to participate.
If you have any questions, please forward them to bburgess@libraryinjonesboro.org
