This month members of the virtual crime book club decided they wanted a more relaxing read with it being the festive season, so nominations were put in, a vote was held and a choice has been made. This month the book club is reading Snow by John Banville.
If you haven’t yet joined the book club but fancy the idea you can find out more about it and find the joining link on this page HERE.
The next meeting is Monday 3rd January 2022 at 8pm GMT.
Snow by John Banville
Detective Inspector St. John Strafford has been summoned to County Wexford to investigate a murder. A parish priest has been found dead in Ballyglass House, the family seat of the aristocratic, secretive Osborne family.The year is 1957 and the Catholic Church rules Ireland with an iron fist. Strafford—flinty, visibly Protestant, and determined to identify the murderer—faces obstruction at every turn, from the heavily accumulating snow to the culture of silence in this tight-knit community. As he delves further, he learns the Osbornes are not at all what they seem. And when his own deputy goes missing, Strafford must work to unravel the ever-expanding mystery before the community’s secrets, like the snowfall itself, threatens to obliterate everything.
