Placer County Library Book Clubs
Mysterious California: Four Authors Program invites readers on a rich visual journey through the distinctive California landscapes of four crime novels and on an intimate exploration of universal themes: the love of land, the importance of knowing personal and social history, the desire for truth and justice, and the power of place to inspire story. This film-and-book discussion program features a documentary film from the creators of "Women of Mystery" Pamela Beere Briggs and William McDonald.
