Engage in a book discussion with the Johnston County Library at 6:30 PM on Thursday, January 8th. Conversation, fellowship, and refreshments will be centered on popular book titles for adults to discuss. Participants will share views on “Death of a Prankster” by M.C. Beaton. Refreshments this month will be provided by the Johnston County Friends of the Library.
When it comes to murder, Constable Hamish Macbeth can’t see the joke. Rich, old practical joker Andrew Trent summons his kin to remote Arrat House in the dead of winter for a deathbed farewell. But when they arrive, the old coot is in perfect health, cackling at his joke and ready to torment them with others. But it turns out the joke’s on Trent. As the saying goes, he who laughs last, kills first! And when Trent is murdered, Constable Macbeth must step in and solve the crime before the punchline of the next killing joke knocks him right into an early grave!
