    October pick: The Girl in the Fog by Donato Carrisi

    Sixty-two days after the disappearance, a man is arrested after a road accident in the small town of Avechot. His shirt is covered in blood. Could this have anything to do with a missing girl called Anna Lou?

    Detective Vogel is on the case, but his eccentric methods start to unsettle the locals. When a media storm hits Avechot, Vogel is sure that the suspect will be flushed out. But the clues are confusing, and may lead him further away from the truth at the heart of the town.

    Join Sandra Spicer from the Home Hospice Association for a group-directed discussion of death. This event doesn’t have any particular objectives or themes aside from increasing everyone’s awareness of death and exploring our relationships with death, dying and grief. As we grapple with what life looks like today, having a safe and non-judgmental space to talk about difficult subjects is so important and can have a significant impact both on how we live and how we die.
