[Publib] Mystery Themes for an Adult Reading Program

[elizabeth fraser]

Hi
   We've done a couple.  One of our most popular used the documentary from
the California Center for the Book - Women of Myster.  Not being from
California, we purchased the video and paperbacks by the three authors -
Grafton, Muller and Paretsky.  We showed the documentary at the first
meeting and discusssed a book at each of the following.

   We are getting ready this summer to do one using Feminist Press's Femme
Fatale reissues.  They are pulp novels of the 1940s and 1950s by women.

We did order though them and they offered us a discount.  *Bunny Lake is
Missing* is going to be filmed soon with Reese Witherspoon too.

    We got couple of those act it out mystery games to do as teen programs.
We are wondering now if they might also be an interesting launch pad for a
discussion group, but we haven't figured out how.
