MYSTERY BOOK GROUP: The Last Place You Look by Roxane Weary

The Last Place You Look is a head-on collision between an allegedly closed case and a tenacious, troubled private investigator who doesn't know when to quit. Nobody knows what happened to Sarah Cook. The beautiful blonde teenager disappeared fifteen years ago, the same night her parents were brutally murdered in their suburban Ohio home. Her boyfriend Brad Stockton―black and from the wrong side of the tracks―was convicted of the murders and is now on death row. Though he’s maintained his innocence all along, the clock is running out. His execution is only weeks away when his devoted sister insists she spied Sarah at an area gas station. Willing to try anything, she hires PI Roxane Weary to look at the case and see if she can locate Sarah. Brad might be in a bad way, but private investigator Roxane Weary isn’t doing so hot herself. Still reeling from the recent death of her cop father in the line of duty, her main way of dealing with her grief has been working as little and drinking as much as possible. But Roxane finds herself drawn in to the story of Sarah's vanishing act, especially when she links the disappearance to one of her father’s unsolved murder cases involving another teen girl. The stakes get higher as Roxane discovers that the two girls may not be the only beautiful blonde teenagers who’ve turned up missing or dead. As her investigation gets darker and darker, Roxane will have to risk everything to find the truth. Lives depend on her cracking this case―hers included.   Tilton Library’s mystery book discussion group has been meeting on the first Thursday of the month at 6:30 p.m. since 2010.  Group members choose the books to be discussed and library staffers order copies for members and others who might be interested in readng the books but not attending the meetings.  The group is open to all.  Free pizza (while it lasts) is provided by the Friends of Tilton Library. Books available at the library.

Mobile Sculpture Worksop: SIGN-UP REQUIRED

SIGN-UP REQUIRED, LIMITED TO 6 STUDENTS Teens and Adults This workshop is intended to answer that burning question: How the heck did Calder do that? Alexander Calder of course, was the great artist who invented the Mobile. In this fun and creative workshop we will explain and demonstrate the basic concepts behind creating a mobile, which it turns out, are fairly straight forward. You will create a small mobile, and this will give you the skills you need to make much larger mobiles at home. All you need to bring is your imagination and any sturdy paper objects (such as colored card stock or postcards) you would like to use. The basic tools, shapes, and wire will be provided.
