November 2013 Book Selection



Join the North Providence Mystery Book Club on Tuesday November 12, 2013 (second Tuesday of the month instead of the first) in the Trustee Conference Room on the Second Floor as we discuss The Black House by Peter May.  This is the first book in the Lewis Trilogy, featuring detective Fin Macleod.
“The Isle of Lewis is the most remote, harshly beautiful place in Scotland, where the difficulty of existence seems outweighed only by people’s fear of God.  But older, pagan values lurk beneath the veneer of faith, the primal yearning for blood and revenge. When a brutal murder on the island bears the hallmarks of a similar slaying in Edinburgh, police detective Fin Macleod is dispatched north to investigate. But since he himself was raised on Lewis, the investigation also represents a journey home and into his past.  Each year the island’s men perform the hunting of the gugas, a savage custom no longer necessary for survival, but which they cling to even more fiercely in the face of the demands of modern morality.  For Fin the hunt recalls a horrific tragedy, which after all this time may have begun to demand another sacrifice." See you on November 12th.
