Event Description

Join the discussion of The Missing Half by Ashley Flowers, which is our Once Upon a Crime Mystery Book Club selection for June. Pick up a copy at the Highland Branch.

Summary: "Nicole "Nic" Monroe is in a rut. At twenty-four, she lives alone in a dinky apartment in her hometown of Mishawaka, Indiana, and she is working the same dead-end job since high school. Everyone has felt sorry for her for the last seven years--since the day her older sister, Kasey, vanished without a trace. On the night Kasey went missing, her car was found over 100 miles from home. The driver's door was open and her purse was untouched in the seat. The only real clue in her disappearance was Jules Connor, another young woman from the same area who disappeared two weeks earlier. But with so little for the police to go on, both cases went cold. Nic wants nothing more than to move on from her sister's disappearance. But then one day, Jules's sister, Jenna Connor, walks into Nic's life and offers her something she hasn't felt in a long time: hope. What follows is a gripping tale of two sisters who will do anything to find their missing halves, even if it means destroying everything they've ever known."
