The vote is complete. It was a draw between three books. Each book getting three votes each.
In the case of a draw I step in and cast a vote, which I don’t normally do. I leave the book choices to club members. Only casting a vote when there is a draw in voting.
So this month we are reading;
The Chemistry of Death by Simon Beckett
Three years ago, David Hunter moved to rural Norfolk to escape his life in London, his gritty work in forensics, and a tragedy that nearly destroyed him. Working as a simple country doctor, seeing his lost wife and daughter only in his dreams, David struggles to remain uninvolved when the corpse of a woman is found in the woods, a macabre sign from her killer decorating her body. In one horrifying instant, the quiet summer countryside that had been David’s refuge has turned malevolent – and suddenly there is no place to hide.
The village of Manham is tight-knit, far from the beaten path. As a newcomer, Dr. Hunter is immediately a suspect. Once an expert in analyzing human remains, he reluctantly joins the police investigation – and when another woman disappears, it soon becomes personal. Because this time she is someone David knows, someone who has managed to penetrate the icy barrier around his heart. With a killer’s bizarre and twisted methods screaming out to him, with a brooding countryside beset with suspicion, David can feel the darkness gathering around him. For as the clock ticks down on a young woman’s life, David must follow a macabre trail of clues – all the way to its final, horrifying conclusion.
The meeting will be held at 8 pm (GMT) on Monday 25th January 2021. You need to be a member of the book club to obtain the zoom room details. Go to this page HERE for details of the book club and the sign-up page.
