Mystery Book Discussion – The Storm Murders by John Farrow

But there are no tracks in the snow leading either to the house or away. What happened here? Is this a murder/suicide case? Or will it turn into something much more sinister?"-- Provided by publisher. Join us on the first Monday of the month for a lively discussion of this month’s title and other of life’s mysteries.
