SUMMARY:History Readers Book Club - April
DESCRIPTION:June\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Queens of Crime\nby Marie Benedict \nJune 2 \n\n\n\n\nLondon\, 1930. The five greatest women crime writers have banded together to form a secret society with a single goal: to show they are no longer willing to be treated as second class citizens by their male counterparts in the legendary Detection Club. Led by the formidable Dorothy L. Sayers\, the group includes Agatha Christie\, Ngaio Marsh\, Margery Allingham and Baroness Emma Orczy. They call themselves the Queens of Crime. Their plan? Solve an actual murder\, that of a young woman found strangled in a park in France who may have connections leading to the highest levels of the British establishment. \nMay Daniels\, a young English nurse on an excursion to France with her friend\, seemed to vanish into thin air as they prepared to board a ferry home. Months later\, her body is found in the nearby woods. The murder has all the hallmarks of a locked room mystery for which these authors are famous: how did her killer manage to sneak her body out of a crowded train station without anyone noticing? If\, as the police believe\, the cause of death is manual strangulation\, why is there is an extraordinary amount of blood at the crime scene? What is the meaning of a heartbreaking secret letter seeming to implicate an unnamed paramour? Determined to solve the highly publicized murder\, the Queens of Crime embark on their own investigation\, discovering they’re stronger together. But soon the killer targets Dorothy Sayers herself\, threatening to expose a dark secret in her past that she would do anything to keep hidden. \nInspired by a true story in Sayers’ own life\, New York Timesbestselling author Marie Benedict brings to life the lengths to which five talented women writers will go to be taken seriously in the male-dominated world of letters as they unpuzzle a mystery torn from the pages of their own novels.

SUMMARY:History Readers Book Club - May
DESCRIPTION:May History Readers Book Club\nThe Stolen Life of Collette Maceau\nby Kristin Carmel \nMay 5 \n\n\n\n\nColette Marceau has been stealing jewels for nearly as long as she can remember\, following the centuries-old code of honor instilled in her by her mother\, Annabel: take only from the cruel and unkind\, and give to those in need. Never was their family tradition more important than seven decades earlier\, during the Second World War\, when Annabel and Colette worked side by side in Paris to fund the French Resistance. \nBut one night in 1942\, it all went wrong. Annabel was arrested by the Germans\, and Colette’s four-year-old sister\, Liliane\, disappeared in the chaos of the raid\, along with an exquisite diamond bracelet sewn into the hem of her nightgown for safekeeping. Soon after\, Annabel was executed\, and Liliane’s body was found floating in the Seine—but the bracelet was nowhere to be found. \nSeventy years later\, Colette—who has “redistributed” $30 million in jewels over the decades to fund many worthy organizations—has done her best to put her tragic past behind her\, but her life begins to unravel when the long-missing bracelet suddenly turns up in a museum exhibit in Boston. If Colette can discover where it has been all this time—and who owns it now—she may finally learn the truth about what happened to her sister. But she isn’t the only one for whom the bracelet holds answers\, and when someone from her childhood lays claim to the diamonds\, she’s forced to confront the ghosts of her past as never before. Against all odds\, there may still be a chance to bring a murderer to justice—but first\, Colette will have to summon the courage to open her own battered heart.

SUMMARY:History Readers Book Club - January
DESCRIPTION:January 6\n\n\n\n\nFinding Margaret Fuller\n by Allison Partake \n\n\n\n\nIn the company of Ralph Waldo Emerson and his circle of enlightened friends\, the young\, beautiful\, and brilliant Margaret Fuller becomes “the radiant genius and fiery heart” of the Transcendentalists. She inspires Louisa May Alcott\, sparks Nathaniel Hawthorne to create Hester Prynne\, and forms close bonds with Henry David Thoreau and Emerson himself. However\, Margaret’s soul yearns for more than poetry and drama\, leading her on a journey of adventure and self-discovery. \nFrom hosting a women-only literary salon in Boston to becoming the first woman permitted entry to Harvard’s library\, Margaret defies societal conventions as an activist for women’s rights and a champion for humanity. On the gritty New York streets\, she spars with Edgar Allan Poe and reports on the work of Frederick Douglass. And when offered an assignment in Europe by editor Horace Greeley\, Margaret becomes the first female foreign news correspondent\, mingling with the likes of Frédéric Chopin\, William Wordsworth\, and George Sand. In Rome\, she embarks on a passionate love affair with a Roman count\, causing an international scandal. As a mother and a countess\, Margaret enters a new fight for Italy’s unification. \nWith a star-studded cast and an epic sweep of historical events\, this is a story of an inspiring trailblazer\, a woman who loved big and lived even bigger—a fierce adventurer who transcended the rigid roles ascribed to women and changed history for millions\, all on her own terms.
