December Book Club: Christmas Presents
Details
We'll be reading Christmas Presents by List Unger. As requested, this is a holiday themed thriller! We will be doing our annual white elephant bookswap at this meeting! Bring a wrapped copy of a book that you've enjoyed this year (used is great!) and we'll do a fun holiday swap. Please wear your holiday finest if you feel so inclined!
Here's a summary of the book:
When true crime podcaster Harley Granger drifts into Madeline Martin's bookshop days before Christmas, he seems intent on digging up a past that Madeline would much rather forget.
Granger's work has earned him fame and wealth - and some serious criticism for his various unethical practices. Granger also has a lot of questions about the night Madeline was left for dead, the only surviving victim of killer Evan Handy.
Handy, who also murdered Madeline's best friend and is suspected in the disappearance of two local sisters, has been in jail for a decade. Since then, though, three other young women have gone missing in similar circumstances. Is the true predator still out there somewhere?
As Christmas approaches and a blizzard bears down, Madeline must confront the past to answer questions that have haunted her since that day. Is the truth more terrible than she ever imagined?
