Crime Fiction Book Discussion: 'The Scent of Rain and Lightning'

The January title for Greendale Public Library's Crime Fiction Discussion Group is The Scent of Rain and Lightening by Nancy Pickard. 

The Greendale Park and Recreation Crime Fiction Book Discussion theme for the 2010-11 season will be "Youth is Wasted on the Young." Book discussion members will read the books prior to the meeting. The evening will be spent discussing the books. Copies of the books can be requested at the Greendale Public Library.

Here's a synopsis of The Scent of Rain and Lightning: 

Twenty six years ago, Billy Crosby murdered Hugh Jay Linder while his wife Laurie Linder disappeared presumably dead. Billy went to prison for his crimes. His son, Collin Crosby, now a lawyer, has managed to get his father released from prison for a new trial. Although the Linder's twenty-five year old daughter Jody has lived in the same town with Collin all these years, they have been experts at avoidance. Now they will have to confront the ghosts of the past.

The group meets in the Greendale Public Library Community Meeting Room (use Health Department Entrance off of Parking Street).

Gary Warren Niebuhr, Greendale Public Library director, is the discussion leader.
