Kill Devil Hills Library and Manteo Library Book Club Meetings in November
November Featured Book Club in a Bag
Our Book Club in a Bag program has 26 titles available for checkout. Contact Sophie Bennewitz at the Manteo Library to check the availability of our 12-copy sets of book club titles and to reserve yours today.
November Featured Title: "Smile Beach Murder"
When Callie is laid off from her reporting job, she returns to her hometown of Cattail Island and lands a gig at the local bookstore—the same one where she found comfort after her mother died.
In fact, the anniversary of her mother’s infamous death is approaching. Years ago, Teri Padget tumbled from the top of the lighthouse. As islanders are once again gossiping about the tragedy, devastating news strikes: the lighthouse has claimed another victim, Eva Meeks, of Meeks Hardware.
The police are calling it suicide, but Callie does not believe Eva jumped any more than she believes her mother did—especially because Callie knows that before her death, Eva had dug up a long-forgotten treasure hunt that could have put a target on Eva’s back.
In Callie’s search for answers, she enlists the help of some beloved books and several new friends, including the handsome local martial arts instructor, Toby Dodge. But when another death rocks Cattail Island, Callie must face her fears alone. As she earns enemies in pursuit of the truth, Callie knows she will either uncover the killer or become a victim herself.

![Staff Picks](https://content.govdelivery.com/attachments/fancy_images/NCDARECOUNTY/2023/08/8101510/copy-of-library-narrow-page-banners-1_original.png) "The Last Devil to Die: A Thursday Murder Club Novel" by Richard Osman
I cannot say enough good things about the Thursday Murder Club series by Richard Osman! Set in a retirement community in the English countryside, this series follows the four unlikely friends of the Thursday Murder Club as they solve complicated mysteries that are anything but cozy. Elizabeth, Joyce, Ibrahim and Ron are wonderfully written and leap off the page with vibrancy, warmth and humor. Their unwitting allies in the police force eventually learn not to underestimate the Thursday Murder Club in spite of their age and turn a blind eye to their unorthodox crime-fighting methods. Each entry in the series is brilliantly plotted and adds new insights into all of the characters.
The latest installment, "The Last Devil to Die," is no exception. Introducing new residents at the Coopers Chase retirement village and bringing back old friends (and enemies), this book won’t let you go, but it will give you a cup of tea and slice of cake for the journey!
