| The Six-Gun Tarot (Golgotha #1) by R.S. Belcher Thursday, June 6, 2019 - 8p Uncle Giuseppe's Marketplace, 10 Triangle Plaza (Route 17 North) · Ramsey, NJ Full line-up of 2019 titles is listed below - please scroll down This group meets on the first Thursday of each month to discuss a specific mystery, horror, or intrigue novel. Join Moderator Aurelia Long as we discuss this month's featured selection. This month's selection is The Six-Gun Tarot by RS Belcher: Nevada, 1869. Golgotha is a cattle town that hides more than its share of unnatural secrets. A haven for the blessed and the damned, Golgotha has known many strange events, but nothing like the darkness stirring in the abandoned mine overlooking the town. |

| Midnight Crossroad (bk 1 Midnight, Texas series) by Charlaine Harris 2/7/19 recap AM Very funny evening! We started off well enough discussing Midnight Crossroad (Book 1 of the Midnight Texas series) by Charlaine Harris. The book is about what appears to a dried-up western town - boarded up windows, one street light, few full-time inhabitants. It's those full-time inhabitants that have secrets. In typical Charlaine Harris fashion, this is a well written book with great characters and a good story. We had fun comparing the book to the TV series. We enjoyed the book so much we will be reading the next book at a later date. We then moved onto what next month's book will be (Midnight Robber) and if there were any suggestions for empty 2019 slots...form there we delved into hilarity. Aurelia is STILL looking for those demons on demon island LOL! Chris is NEVER going to shark infested resort..had to be there. Lots of fun. |
| Scion of Ikshvaku (Ram Chandra #1) by Amish Tripathi 5/2/19 recap Todd Ehrenfels A spirited discussion of a really engaging book. Ram Chandra is the unfortunate eldest son of a defeated Emperor growing up in an India in crisis. He has many trials and travails to overcome, not least of which is that his father blames him for his only defeat at the hands of the 'demon' Ravaan, which happened on the day of Ram's birth. Based on the events of the Ramayana and elegantly written, Aurelia, Kathleen, and I pored over the details of the book. We spent much of the time dissecting the events of the first half of the story as Ram and his brothers Bharat, Lakshman, and Shatrughan grew up in the ashram of the guru Vashishta, and then Ram's term as chief of city police in Ayodhya where he finally earned acceptance and respect from his father during a hunt. The book is exquisitely detailed and the discussions of philosophy are really well handled instead of being dry infodumps, and the characters had a vibrancy that is hard to describe. We gave it an average of A- over all. |
