Program Description

Event Details

Join us as we investigate sinister goings-on in our nation's capital in the years after WWII. The appearance of the woman in black at a Washington cocktail party sets off a chain of violence and murder. Grace Latham, the shrewd and elegant widow living in Georgetown, works with Colonel Primrose to uncover the truth and clear her good friend Susan of suspicion.

Leslie Ford is the author of over a dozen Latham/Primrose murder mysteries written between 1934 and 1953. Almost all taking place in and around Washington D.C. Her books are recently being reissued in print and digital format.

Mystery Book Club

Come in, get cozy and enjoy a group discussion of books of mystery and suspense by famous and lesser known authors from the Golden Age of Mysteries.  Meetings will be held every other month, usually on the 4th Wednesday of that month. We have been holding Hybrid meetings; you can join in-person or via zoom

Need a copy of the book? Please search our online catalog or our Overdrive ebook/audiobook collection to check the availability of this book. Special book group copies are also set aside roughly one month before the discussion and can be requested on a first come, first serve basis by emailing circ@fallschurchva.gov
