The Busybody Book Club is written by Freya Sampson is one in a long line of her light easy reading cosy novels. Tihs is the onlly one I have read so far.
This plot focuses on a small book group made up of members of a small town community center. Nova Davis is the young woman hired to lead the center's book discussion group. She really needs this job. She has recently moved to the town and is living with her fiancé and his family as they prepare for their wedding.
The members of the group are an ornery bunch and have trouble agreeing on the monthly book selections. After one member leaves the meeting in a hurry and disappears the group finally starts to act as a team. Money is missing from the director's office, Michael has disappeared and a dead body was discovered in his home.
The book group gathers to make a plan and try to find the money and Michael before the police do. Mabel is an Agatha Christie fan and tries to use what she has learned from reading the Jane Marple mysteries to help solve the mysteries at hand. As the characters slowly trust each other and reveal their secrets the reader can see why each person likes a different genre of books. Arthur loves a good romance and thinks there might be a mystery woman involved. Ash is a teenager who thinks dark forces are at play because he is a sci-fi fan.
An entertaining sweet mystery that brings people together, bonding over their book choices. So many book recommenddations , along with humor, and a little romance.
