English Book Club!

Mykolaiv Window on America Center had the English Book Club with a Peace Corps volunteer Melanie Graham on the 14th of May.

Our participants discussed a book "The Disappearance of Daniel Question" by Barrie Roberts . This story about Watson who visited Holmes in Sussex. Holmes told him that after twenty years, he thinks he has finally solved the Phillimore case. Honoria Phillimore calls at Baker Street after her son James, proprietor of Phillimore's Commercial Bank, disappears after stepping into his house to fetch his umbrella. She tells them of his estrangement from his father, and the years he spent overseas, working in the bank's continental offices. After examing Phillimore's house and garden, Holmes takes an interest in a foreign-looking street sweeper, Dumb, Danny, who was present when Phillimore disappeared, and who has also vanished. Some months later, Phillimore's body is found in the Thames.
