SEPTEMBER - Tahoe Blowup by Todd Borg - Nancy

Detective McKenna is hot on the trail of a murderous arsonist in Tahoe Blowup: An Owen McKenna Mystery Thriller by Todd Borg (Tahoe Deathfall). When the killer kidnaps Owen's girlfriend, intending to burn her and hundreds of other people to death, Owen and his dog Spot have to brave the gun-toting arsonist and a devastating forest fire to save her life.

Meeting held on Nancy's deck and Larry served his infamous (yum) taco salad.  Just Frances, Linda and Nancy this month so Diana Mattix joined us..she even read the book!!  Beautiful weather.

AUGUST - Wicked Ways by Lisa Jackson - Rachelle

Elizabeth and her daughter Chloe grieving the loss of her husband was the main focus of this story. Elizabeth was easily looking like the person who killed her husband. The twist and turns made it impossible to know who really killed him.

The side story with Ravinia coming from the colony to find Elizabeth and tell her she might be in danger, was a good story on its own. The way Ravinia was surviving on her own with little experience outside the colony was really interesting to follow. When she meets the private investigator Rex and becomes his potential side kick, things really fell into place

Meeting held at Linda's house being Rachelle too busy.  Being it was another HOT day we sat inside and discussed the book over muffins.  This month Nancy and Jan only other attendees.

JULY- No book Club - Janice

 No book club this month

JUNE - Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng - Erin

Intensely complex, multi layered, and intricately plotted Little Fires Everywhere is a profoundly complicated and jarring read about motherhood, freedom, and the human experience. When unconventional artist Mia and her fifteen year old daughter, Pearl, move to Shaker Heights, Ohio their lives dramatically change.

Meeting cancelled due to only Nancy and Jan able to come.
