Two brothers meet at the border of their vast cattle properties under the unrelenting sun of outback Queensland.  They are at the stockman's grave, a landmark so old, no one can remember who is buried there.  But today, the scant shadow it casts was the last hope for their middle brother, Cameron.  The Bright family's quiet existence is thrown into grief and anguish.  Something had been troubling Cameron.  Did he lose hope and walk to his death?  Because if he didn't, the isolation of the outback leaves few suspects.














 
 March: "All the Colors of the Dark" by Chris Whitaker

1975 is a time of change in America.  The Vietnam War is ending.  Muhammad Ali is fighting Joe Frazier. And in the small town of Monta Clare, Missouri, girls are disappearing.  When the daughter of a wealthy family is targeted, the most unlikely hero emerges-Patch, a local boy, who saves the girl, and, in doing so, leaves heartache in his wake.

A missing person mystery, a serial killer thriller, a love story, a unique twist on each, Chris Whitaker has written a novel about what lurks in the shadows of obsession and the blinding light of hope.


April: “The Woman in the Library” by Sulari Gentill


In every person's story, there is something to hide… The ornate reading room at the Boston Public Library is quiet, until the tranquility is shattered by a woman's terrified scream. Security guards take charge immediately, instructing everyone inside to stay put until the threat is identified and contained. While they wait for the all-clear, four strangers, who'd happened to sit at the same table, pass the time in conversation and friendships are struck. Each has his or her own reasons for being in the reading room that morning—it just happens that one is a murderer.


May: “Queens of Crime” by Marie Benedict

London, 1930. The five greatest women crime writers, Dorothy L. Sayers, Agatha Christie, Ngaio Marsh, Margery Allingham and Baroness Emma Orczy, have banded together to form a secret society with a single goal: to show they are no longer willing to be treated as second-class citizens by their male counterparts in the legendary Detection Club. Their plan? Solve an actual murder, that of a young woman found strangled in a park in France who may have connections leading to the highest levels of the British establishment.
