Volusia Reads Online Book Club

Volusia County Public Library has partnered with PBC Guru and Freading to create a virtual book club for patrons and the community.

The book for March 17 - May 19 is The Quiet Girl by S. F. Kosa.

 Newlywed Alex Zarabian arrives at his wife’s writer’s getaway looking to make up after a fight they’ve had earlier in the week. Only, he discovers that Mina is nowhere to be found. Alex urgently works to piece together the parts of this mystery by himself, all the while haunted by the curious fact that Mina has left her engagement and wedding rings behind.

It is always available for download from Freading.
