May's Middletown Book for Discussion on Zoom: The Lost Man

 

The MUM Book Discussion group will next meet on Tuesday, May 25.  Our title is Jane Harper's The Lost Man.  Here is a brief summary of this tale of brothers and a mystery in the Australian outback:

"Brothers Nathan and Bub Bright meet for the first time in months at the remote fence line separating their cattle ranches in the lonely outback. Their third brother, Cameron, lies dead at their feet. In an isolated belt of Queensland, Australia, their homes a three-hour drive apart, the brothers were one another's nearest neighbors.  While they grieve Cameron's loss, suspicion starts to take hold, and Nathan is forced to examine secrets the family would rather leave in the past. Because if someone forced Cameron to his death, the isolation of the outback leaves few suspects."  

Here is where you can find the book:

• There are several copies available through Miami, OhioLINK, and SearchOhio.  All of our statewide delivery services are up and running.  We do have our curbside pickup operating as well as in-house pickup.
  
• Amazon has the paperback, Kindle, and audiobook available, and Bookshop.org has links to purchase the title from independent booksellers.

Our group is always finding interesting titles to share, and we look forward to the new things you'll bring to the table.  On April 27th, the members of the group had a spirited discussion of The Sun Also Rises, and also shared these titles to add to your reading/viewing lists:
