Program Description

Event Details

We are discussing The Dark Tunnel by Ross Macdonald.  We continue to explore the context of murder in the time of WWII.  Macdonald takes us to a mid-western college where spies, espionage and murder create a sinister and dangerous environment.  Professor Robert Branch is determined to find out who killed his colleague; he's certain it wasn't suicide!  This is an edge-of-your-seat spy thriller.

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
