The Cutting Season by Attica Locke

Wednesday, February 26, 2013

In honor of Black History Month, we are reading The Cutting Season by Attica Locke for our February book group meeting.

Summary (from Amazon): For many native Louisianans, Belle Vie, a large antebellum plantation situated between Baton Rouge and New Orleans, is a symbol of beauty and the South's genteel past. For others, it is a monumental reminder of the evils of slavery. The estate becomes the center of further controversy when a young woman is found lying facedown in a shallow grave, her throat cut clean.

Our October book is Sworn to Silence by Linda Castillo.  This is the first book in the series featuring Kate Burkholder, the former Amish Police Chief of Painters Mill, Ohio.

“Think Harrison Ford in the movie Witness and add just a touch of the Coen brothers’ Fargo and you have the feel of this brilliant, nail-biting thriller. . . . Very dark, intricate and packed with twists, it literally chokes the breath from your body. It’s that good.” —Daily Mail (UK)

Copies of the book will be available for checkout at the Newark Library's circulation desk.
