Program Description
This month we will be reading and discussing "The Last Murder at the End of the World" by Stuart Turton.
Outside the island there is nothing: the world was destroyed by a fog that swept the planet, killing anyone it touched. On the island: it is idyllic. One hundred and twenty-two villagers and three scientists, living in peaceful harmony. The villagers are content to fish, farm and feast, to obey their nightly curfew, to do what they're told by the scientists. Until, to the horror of the islanders, one of their beloved scientists is found brutally stabbed to death. And then they learn that the murder has triggered a lowering of the security system around the island, the only thing that was keeping the fog at bay. If the murder isn't solved within 92 hours, the fog will smother the island-and everyone on it. But the security system has also wiped everyone's memories of exactly what happened the night before, which means that someone on the island is a murderer-and they don't even know it. And the clock is ticking...
"The Last Murder at the End of the World" is available through our catalog, and as an eBook and an eAudiobook through Cloudlibrary. Please visit our front desk or call 941-861-1744 to reserve a copy of the book.
We will be meeting in-person in the Shannon Staub Library Conference Room.
