SUMMARY:Thriller Book Club August: The House Across the Lake by Riley Sager
DESCRIPTION:Come join us for treats and book talk! The New York Times bestselling author of Final Girls and Survive the Night is back with his “best plot twist yet.” (People\, Best Summer Books) Be careful what you watch for . . .  Casey Fletcher\, a recently widowed actress trying to escape a streak of bad press\, has retreated to the peace and quiet of her family’s lake house in Vermont. Armed with a pair of binoculars and several bottles of bourbon\, she passes the time watching Tom and Katherine Royce\, the glamorous couple living in the house across the lake. \n\n\n\nThey make for good viewing–a tech innovator\, Tom is powerful; and a former model\, Katherine is gorgeous. One day on the lake\, Casey saves Katherine from drowning\, and the two strike up a budding friendship. But the more they get to know each other–and the longer Casey watches–it becomes clear that Katherine and Tom’s marriage isn’t as perfect as it appears. \n\n\n\nWhen Katherine suddenly vanishes\, Casey immediately suspects Tom of foul play. What she doesn’t realize is that there’s more to the story than meets the eye–and that shocking secrets can lurk beneath the most placid of surfaces. Packed with sharp characters\, psychological suspense\, and gasp-worthy plot twists\, Riley Sager’s The House Across the Lake is the ultimate es

SUMMARY:August Living Large Book Club: Florida Woman by Deb Rogers
DESCRIPTION:August’s “Living Large book club selection\, Florida Woman\, offers a perfect blend of humor\, intrigue and quirkiness wrapped in a southern fiction blanket – we think you’re going to love it! \nA gleefully dark and entertaining debut for fans of Kevin Wilson and Karen Russell\, about one young woman’s sensational summer at a Floridian wildlife center for exotic monkeys \nJamie is a Florida Woman. She grew up on the beach\, thrives in humidity\, has weathered more hurricanes than she can count\, and now\, after going viral for an outrageous crime she never meant to commit in the first place\, she has the requisite headline to her name. But when the chance comes for her to escape viral infamy and imminent jail time by taking a community service placement at Atlas\, a shelter for rescued monkeys\, it seems like just the fresh start Jamie needs to finally get her life back on track — until it’s not. \nSomething sinister stirs in the palmetto woods surrounding her cabin\, and secrets lurk among the three beguiling women who run the shelter and affectionately take Jamie under their wing for the summer. She hears the distant screams of monkeys each night; the staff perform cryptic\, lakeside sacrifices to honor Atlas; and the land\, which has long been abandoned by citrus farmers and theme park developers alike\, now proves to be dangerously\, relentlessly untamed. \nAs Jamie ventures deeper into the offbeat world and rituals of Atlas\, her summer is soon set to inspire an even stranger Florida headline than she ever could’ve imagined. \nTreats served\, join the fun!

SUMMARY:Thursday August PQ Book Club: Every Now and Then by Lesley Kagen
DESCRIPTION:For fans of Where the Crawdads Sing and This Tender Land comes a heartfelt story about three young girls searching for adventure during the summer of 1960 from the New York Times bestselling author of Whistling in the Dark. \nCome join us for treatss and book talk! Open to all… \nThat summer would change us . . . forever. \nThe summer of 1960 was the hottest ever for Summit\, Wisconsin. For kids seeking relief from the heat\, there was a creek to be swum in\, sprinklers to run through\, and ice cream at Whitcomb’s Drugstore. But for Frankie\, Viv\, and Biz\, eleven-year-old best friends\, it would forever be remembered as the summer that evil paid a visit to their small town–and took their young lives as they’d known them as a souvenir. \nWith a to-do list in hand\, the girls set forth from their hideout to make their mark on that summer\, but when three patients escape from Broadhurst Mental Institution\, their idyllic lives take a sinister turn. Determined to uncover long-held secrets\, the girls have no idea that what they discover could cost them their lives and the ones they hold dear. \nSix decades later\, Biz\, now a bestselling novelist\, remembers that long ago summer and how it still haunts her and her lifelong friends in Every Now and Then\, a story about the ties that bind us\, the timelessness of grief and guilt–and the everlasting hope for redemption.
