If the hustle and bustle of the holiday season has your nerves frayed and your temper short, we suggest turning off the TV, iPhone and other electronic devices and relaxing with an escapist read at the end of your hectic day.

NPR's The Clueless Detectives suggests three great choices of mysteries with protagonists that don't know it all, but will do whatever it takes to learn.

If your New Year's Resolution is to read more in the coming year or perhaps join a book discussion group, I invite you to join my Monday Mysteries Book Discussion - next meeting is January 10th @ noon and we'll be discussing the book The Shadow of Gotham by Stefanie Pintoff.

Happy Holidays to one and all from the staff at the RVC Library!
