Derby Public Library to host discussion of mystery novel
DERBY - Derby Public library to host a discussion of "The Death of Mrs. Christie" by Marie Benedict at 1 p.m. Thursday.
The Washington Post notes that “this is a stunning story that has an ingenious ending…it's possible that Benedict has brought to life the most plausible explanation for why Christie disappeared for 11 days in 1926.”

Sharing a former 'Turnback Tuesday' post featuring Sugar Street in Derby
This is a post from several years ago featuring a 'Turnback Tuesday' photo of the old Sugar Street home of Garrett Smith and Z. Hallock.
Sugar Street is now known as Roosevelt Drive or Route 34 West.
It was called Sugar Street because in the mid- 1800s, sugar and other products from the West Indies came into Derby Docks and were transported along this route.
Thanks goes to Derby Public Library staff for always sharing interesting local history!
