The April selection for True Crime Chronicles is The Art Thief by Michael Finkel, “a spell-binding portrait of obsession and flawed genius.” Request your copy at the library desk and join us on Tuesday, April 15th, at 7:00 pm.

At True Crime Chronicles, we embark on a journey through the unsettling yet captivating world of true crime literature. Our purpose is to explore compelling cases, discuss the intricacies of human behavior, and examine the impact of crime on society. We invite you to join us in thoughtful conversations that challenge our perspectives, deepen our understanding, and foster a community of curious minds united by a shared interest in the darker side of storytelling.
