Prospect High Bookclub

An enthusiastic group has started meeting in the library every Monday at lunchtime. At bookclub meetings, members share a book that they are reading, or have just read. They discuss the different types of fiction genres and look at and review new books in the library. The group will also talk about future literacy events that can be held in the library. If you have a love of books and want to chat with others about them, then come along at the start of lunch.

For who else but London's only unofficial consulting detective could possibly solve the mystery of the disappearing Army officer, the one-legged man, his barefoot accomplice, the missing treasure-chest, and... the "sign of the four"?
