Let's discuss some good mystery books!

If you love mysteries, this book club is the place for you! We meet every month to discuss the chosen selection, with maybe a little catching up on the side.

May's book selection is King of Ashes by S.A. Cosby.

Roman Carruthers left the smoke and fire of his family's crematory business behind in his hometown of Jefferson Run, Virginia. He is enjoying a life of shallow excess as a financial adviser in Atlanta until he gets a call from his sister, Neveah, telling him their father is in a coma after a hit-and-run accident. When Roman goes home, he learns the accident may not be what it seems. His brother, Dante, is deeply in debt to dangerous, ruthless criminals.

A financial whiz with a head for numbers and a talent for making his clients rich, Roman must use all his skills to try to save his family while dealing with a shadow that has haunted them all for twenty years: the disappearance of their mother when Roman and his siblings were teenagers. It's a mystery that Neveah, who has sacrificed so much of her life to hold her family together, is determined to solve once and for all.

Books can be checked out at the Laman Library circulation desk (ask a staff member) or online on the Libby or Hoopla apps. For more information, contact Megan at mhines@nlrlibrary.org. No registration required.
