Adult Book Clubs
Next for the Bookaholics Book Club is “Lying with Strangers” by James Grippando. Peyton Shields and her husband Kevin are both stars at their new jobs, though long hours have put a strain on their marriage. Everything changes when Peyton is forced off the road on her drive home. No one believes Peyton’s claims that the “accident” was deliberate, and suddenly her life has turned dark and uncertain, and the terror has only just begun. Copies are now available at the library. The book clubs will meet Thursday, February 20. The first session at 12 pm at the library, and the second at 7:30 pm at Bruno’s Bar.
