Narrated by:
Every month, Sara, Agatha, Daphne, Liz, Josie, and Carolina meet—as book clubs do—to discuss their latest read, and everything else too. It’s a comfortable routine and “Book Club” nicely papers over the parts of their histories best left uninspected.
But when Josie’s husband abruptly leaves her for Carolina, and their lives begin to intersect and come undone in ways they couldn’t have foreseen, the remaining Book Club members must try to make sense of the chaos that has transpired. For each of them, this rupture in the fabric of their community surfaces her own private dramas and dredges up old wounds.
Rotating among the perspectives of the various hosts, The Third Street Book Club is a sharply observed novel of all the parts of middle life, as well as the power of collective and individual experiences reading fiction wrapped in a page-turning mystery.

Reviews
“Part murder mystery, part book-club drama, part comedy of (potluck) manners, this novel is pitch-perfect and impossible to put down: a gloriously intelligent, hugely entertaining tapestry of wit, insight, suspense, and compassion.”
—Leslie Jamison, author of Splinters
“A riveting and delicious celebration of literature, friendship, and the boundless strength of wives and mothers. Come for the murder mystery and neighborhood gossip, stay for the sly and surprising life lessons.”
—Jessamine Chan, author of The School for Good Mothers
“Miranda Featherstone writes with an appealing frankness about marriage, friendship, and betrayal in this gimlet-eyed novel that will appeal to book lovers, book clubs, and readers of all kinds. A propulsive and bighearted debut.”
—Bruce Holsinger, author of Culpability
“I read The Third Street Book Club in two mesmerizing sittings. It’s full of wisdom and humor and vivid scenes, with a plot that goes in charming and scary and unexpected directions.”
