When a grisly murder occurs on a Scottish island, Edinburgh detective Fin Macleod must confront his past if he is ever going to discover if the killing has a connection to another one that took place on the mainland. Join us on the first Monday of the month for a lively discussion of this month’s title and other of life’s mysteries. Copies of the book are usually available at the circulation desk or can be reserved online or by asking at the desk. This discussion also features cheese pizza while it lasts. Free and open to all.

Art at Tilton – Landscapes of Deerfield by Karen Savage

The intense and vibrant color pastels create along with texture like soft velvet is very exciting to me.  I love the adventure of trying something new. Capturing light is one of the challenges that creates excitement for me.  I try to paint the light, focusing on the dramatic results of the pattern of shade and sun.  The intense and vibrant color pastels create is very satisfying for me. - Karen Savage
