Nevermore: Summer of 1876, Lock Every Door, Little Shoes

 


Reported by Rita

Summer of 1876: Outlaws, Lawmen, and Legends in the Season That Defined the American West by Chris Wimmer has it all, from infamous lawmen, presidents, bank robbers, and gun slingers to baseball players. Our reader described it as a very fascinating book that is very descriptive, painting a sometimes exhausting picture of life in the American West during that era.  NH



Lock Every Door by Riley Sager is a mystery thriller about young Jules Larson who is starting a new job as an apartment sitter in a mysterious, high-profile Manhattan building. When another sitter in the building goes missing, Jules starts looking into the building’s history and discovers others have gone missing before. This book was described as a real page turner, full of twists and turns. MP



Little Shoes: The Sensational Depression-Era Murders That Became My Family’s Secret by Pamela Everett is a true crime story about the murder of three young girls in 1937 in California, a wrongful conviction and execution, and the author uncovering family secrets that held the truth of an 80 year old criminal case. A very sad but incredibly interesting story. CD
