Bone Chilling Book Club

Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn

Spend chilly days with even chillier books! Join our Bone Chilling Book Club to discuss a horror, mystery, thriller, or suspense novel every month. Book club meetings are held via Zoom. Registration is required. To register, call (419) 352-5050, email woodref@wcdpl.org, or register online here.

Join us on September 21 at 7:00 pm via Zoom to discuss Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn. Fresh from a brief stay at a psych hospital, reporter Camille Preaker faces a troubling assignment: she must return to her tiny hometown to cover the murders of two preteen girls. For years, Camille has hardly spoken to her neurotic, hypochondriac mother or to the half-sister she barely knows: a beautiful thirteen-year-old with an eerie grip on the town. Now, installed in her old bedroom in her family's Victorian mansion, Camille finds herself identifying with the young victims—a bit too strongly. Dogged by her own demons, she must unravel the psychological puzzle of her own past if she wants to get the story—and survive this homecoming.
