This month book is A Litter of Bones by JD Kirk. Was the biggest case of his career the worst mistake he ever made? Ten years ago, DCI Jack Logan stopped the serial child-killer dubbed "Mister Whisper", earning himself a commendation, a drinking problem, and a broken marriage in the process. Now, he spends his days working in Glasgow's Major Investigations Team, and his nights reliving the horrors of what he saw. And what he did. When another child disappears a hundred miles north in the Highlands, Jack is sent to lead the investigation and bring the boy home. But as similarities between the two cases grow, could it be that Jack caught the wrong man all those years ago? And, if so, is the real Mister Whisper about to claim his fourth victim? A Litter of Bones is the explosive debut crime thriller novel from JD Kirk, an exciting new voice in Scottish crime fiction. https://sandownlibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/monday-morning-mystery-book-group-90/

Is the BOOK always BETTER? Join us on the fourth Monday of each month when we will watch a movie based on the book we have read during the month then have a discussion comparing them. Books for the next gathering are always available on movie viewing night. This is open every month to anyone who wants to join the discussion. Books are available at the library.  This month's book: Winter's Bone by Daniell Woodrell The sheriff's deputy at the front door brings hard news to Ree Dolly. Her father has skipped bail on charges that he ran a crystal meth lab, and the Dollys will lose their house if he doesn't show up for his next court date.  The Dolly clan has worked the shadowy side of the law for generations, and arrests (and attempts to avoid them) are part of life in Rathlin Valley. But the house is all they have, and Ree's father would never forfeit it to the bond company unless something awful happened. With two young brothers depending on her and a mother who's entered a kind of second childhood, sixteen year old Ree knows she has to bring her father back, dead or alive, or else see her family turned out into the unforgiving cold.  Ree has grown up in the harsh poverty of the Ozarks, and  learns quickly that asking questions of the rough Dolly clan can be a fatal mistake. She perseveres past obstacles of every kind and finally confronts the top figures in the family's hierarchy. Along the way to a shocking revelation, Ree discovers unexpected depths in herself and in a family network that protects its own at any cost. Pizza will be available for those registered. Donations are welcome. Registration will close at 9pm the evening prior to the program.  https://sandownlibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/book-2-movie-55/

This month's book: Once There Were Wolves by Charlotte McConaghy Inti Flynn arrives in Scotland with her twin sister, Aggie, to lead a team of biologists tasked with reintroducing fourteen gray wolves into the remote Highlands. She hopes to heal not only the dying landscape, but Aggie, too, unmade by the terrible secrets that drove the sisters out of Alaska. Inti is not the woman she once was, either, changed by the harm sheâs witnessedâinflicted by humans on both the wild and each other. Yet as the wolves surprise everyone by thriving, Inti begins to let her guard down, even opening herself up to the possibility of love. But when a farmer is found dead, Inti knows where the town will lay blame. Unable to accept her wolves could be responsible, Inti makes a reckless decision to protect them. But if the wolves didnât make the kill, then who did? And what will Inti do when the man she is falling for seems to be the prime suspect? https://sandownlibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/books-bites-book-discussion-75/
