Books R Us I am shown into a small, drab room, told to sit down and wait. Six empty brown plastic chairs face each other on tired linoleum. In a corner, is a fake green plant, shiny leaves coated with dust. I do as I am told. I sit down. My thighs tremble. My palms feel clammy, my throat parched. My head throbs. I think, I should call our father now, I should call him before it gets too late. But my hand makes no effort to grab the phone in the pocket of my jeans. Call our father and tell him what? Tell him how? Thus begins “A Secret Kept” by Tatiana De Rosnay. Books R Us will meet on Thursday, June 27th, at 10:00 a.m. and we will find out if he/she does make that call.

In June, the Mystery Book Club will discuss Cover of Snow, by Jenny Milchman, on Wednesday, June 5th at 10:00 a.m. Milchman’s debut is a gripping tale of suspense. Waking up one wintry morning in her old farmhouse nestled in the Adirondack Mountains of New York, Nora Hamilton instantly knows that something is wrong. When her fog of sleep clears, she finds her world is suddenly, irretrievably shattered: Her husband, Brendan, has committed suicide. Unraveling her late husband’s final days, Nora searches for an explanation In July, the Mystery Book Club will be reading Death Comes to Pemberley by P. D. James. You may want to revisit Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen as well. It is 1803, six years since Elizabeth and Darcy embarked on their life together at Pemberley, Darcy’s magnificent estate. Their peaceful, orderly world seems almost unassailable. Then, on the eve of the autumnal ball, the patrician idyll is shattered. A coach careens up the drive carrying Lydia, Elizabeth’s disgraced sister, who with her husband, the very dubious Wickham, has been banned from Pemberley. She stumbles out of the carriage, hysterical, shrieking that Wickham has been murdered. With shocking suddenness, Pemberley is plunged into a frightening mystery. Inspired by a lifelong passion for Austen, P. D. James masterfully recreates the world of Pride and Prejudice, electrifying it with the excitement and suspense of a brilliantly crafted crime story, as only she can write it. Both books are available from the South Central Library System in print, large print and audio.
