Program Description

Event Details

We are discussing Edmund Crispin's whodunit The Moving Toyshop, published in 1946.  A British mystery set in Oxford just after WWII, it features the series detective Gervase Fen as he helps his old university friend Richard Cadogan.  Cadogan arrives in Oxford late one night and stumbles, literally, upon a dead body in a toyshop.  The next morning the body has disappeared -- and so has the toyshop!

Mystery Book Group

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.
