We had a nice discussion of our April book, How to Be a Good Creature, among other topics. Thanks to Deb for hosting.

This month we will meet on Wednesday, May 15, at 7:30 pm. to discuss Daisy Darker by Alice Feeney. Please don’t feel that you shouldn’t attend if you haven’t finished (or even started) the book—Book Club is mainly an opportunity for old and new friends to get together and chat and snack. All are welcome—we would love to have some new members join our group.

It is the time of year when we start our planning for next fall’s Book Club. Feel free to bring a suggestion or two to the May meeting for books you would like to read (or have read) that you think might make good Book Club choices. Having a list of at least a couple of titles for the first few months of fall enables us to order books in advance and possibly secure in-demand titles.

We hold most meetings in person but also have a Zoom option if you can’t attend. Please contact Debbie if you have any interest in hosting a meeting.

Daisy Darker was born with a broken heart. Now after years of avoiding each other, Daisy Darker’s entire family is assembling for Nana’s 80th birthday party in her crumbling gothic house on a tiny tidal island. The family arrives, each of them harboring secrets. When the tide comes in, they will be cut off from the rest of the world for eight hours.

But at the stroke of midnight, as a storm rages, Nana is found dead. And an hour later, the next family member follows…

Trapped on an island where someone is killing them one by one, the Darkers must reckon with their present mystery as well as their past secrets, before the tide goes out and all is revealed.
