I was curious which title stuck with them and decided it would be good to get a consensus of the best liked mystery novel. I didn't know quite what to expect among the various books we read (and some prodding was needed to remember them all).

As I recall, I asked for written responses on paper slips and the runaway favorite--after some brief discussion--was Mark de Castrique's The 13th Target. It was his newest book, published earlier in the year. The book follows Russell Mullins, a former Secret agent now working bodyguard assignments for a private security company. His currently assigned client is found dead and he is convinced the matter deserves further investigation than the police's conclusion of a suicide. Matters compound for Mullins with a murder and tracking a suspicious money trial from the Federal Reserve.
The book club also benefited from a visit from this local author who was the guest for the November book club session. Those in attendance found him a pleasant, affable guest.
