As the great Tori Telfer says, being into True Crime is like having a taste for cilantro. Some folks don’t get it, but some do: you know who you are.

WE’VE GONE DIGITAL

Book clubs are still a thing around here, and just in time for the pandemic lockdown. You’re stuck at home, but you’re not alone.  Get your ticket here, email us your address, we’ll mail you your book, and then we’ll Zoom together and talk about it. All our fantastic moderators are still on board. (Specific instructions follow after you’ve got your ticket.)

Please note that we have migrated to a THURSDAY.

Ex-deputy DA William Wood’s The Bone Garden is about cold-hearted serial killer Dorothea Montalvo Puente.

HOW IT WORKS:

All book clubs require a ticket, and include the book and a dedicated moderator – to keep the discussion on track! You can get your ticket here (*we’ll ship the book to you!)

Please send a mailing addy to larkin.lastbookstore@gmail.com
