Nova works at the local community center. She just started this job and it's very important to her as she loves what she does and believes it's very important for the community. One of the many activities she leads at the center is a book club with a mixed group of people and she's not certain it's going to take off as she hoped.
There's Phyllis that only wants to read mysteries. Arthur only wants to read romance novels so he can share them with his sick wife at home. Ash is a quiet teen and Michael who no one has a clue why he's even there.
During a meeting discussing Where the Crawdad's Sing, Michael gets a phone call and races out of the building. The next day there is money missing intended for a new roof for the center. All fingers are pointing at Nova. Shortly after more mysterious things are occurring and unless the book club members can figure out who is behind it all Nova is going to lose her job and possibly face charges. These mysteries all occur while Nova is trying to prepare for her wedding to Craig. It's hard to focus on the wedding when Nova's so worried about everything else. Craig just wants her to stop getting so involved in the mysteries and focus on the wedding.
I really loved this book. It was full of great mystery that kept me guessing right up until the end. I definitely didn't suspect how this would end at all. I really loved all the characters. I could actually imagine a second or third book with these characters. I recently read The Maid by Nita Prose and I would suggest The Busybody Book Club to anyone that enjoyed that series.
