Have you always longed to drink beer and talk detective books with a librarian? Calvert Library is loaning one (librarian) to Mully's for just that thing! Pints and Private Eyes, a book group for fans of noir, detective and crime fiction. We meet at Mully's Brewery (141 Schooner Ln, Prince Frederick) on the first Thursday of the month from 7-8:30 pm.
"One Sunday in the spring of 1988, a woman living on a reservation in North Dakota is attacked. The details of the crime are slow to surface as Geraldine Coutts is traumatized and reluctant to relive or reveal what happened, either to the police or to her husband, Bazil, and 13-year-old son, Joe. In one day, Joe's life is irrevocably transformed. He tries to heal his mother, but she will not leave her bed and slips into an abyss of solitude. Increasingly alone, Joe finds himself thrust prematurely into an adult world for which he is ill prepared.
While his father, who is a tribal judge, endeavors to wrest justice from a situation that defies his efforts, Joe becomes frustrated with the official investigation and sets out with his trusted friends, Cappy, Zack, and Angus, to get some answers of his own. Their quest takes them first to the Round House, a sacred space and place of worship for the Ojibwe. And this is only the beginning."
The Round House is available on Hoopla as an ebook and eaudiobook. On Overdrive as an ebook and eaudiobook, as well!
