Set in 1931, Albert’s third Darling Dahlias mystery finds the Darling Dahlias Garden Club planning a rose planting in honor of Confederate Day. After a member is accused of stealing from the county treasury, the club president tries to clear her name, while their resident historian helps the town librarian unravel the strange code stitched into the inside of a pillow passed down in her family.

Spring 2025 – Mystery without Murder – Detective novels are almost always about murder.  The loss of life focuses the reader’s attention as no other crime can. Yet some of the most popular writers of the genre of the 20^th and 21^st centuries – including grande dames Josephine Tey and Dorothy L. Sayers – have written mysteries without murders. This spring we'll read five — one from Tey and four from some contemporary authors.
