I'm puttng together two book clubs next year...one for middle school boys, and one for high school boys.

I have figureed out my MS books, I've been furiously reading since the start of Lent.

Now I'm working on the highschool boys. I have some sci fi, adventure, historical fiction titles, but no straight up mystery who done its!

Got any ideas?

Sherlock Holmes? Father Brown? Lots to choose from there.

Murder on the Orient Express is the quintessential Agatha Christie ,IMO. I haven't read it recently, but I think it would definitely be appropriate for high school boys as she is quite discreet and there is lots to discuss.

What Lindsay said.

Also Edgar Allan Poe - creator of the mystery story!
