Next Discussion : “The Wrong Girl” by Hank Phillippi Ryan!!
Murder Among Friends celebrates the month of love and friendship with a special call-in by one of our favorite authors, Hank Phillippi Ryan. Hank will be joining us to discuss the 2nd Jane Ryland mystery, The Wrong Girl.
At our group's Planning Meeting for the 2014 books, we decided that we wanted to follow Hank's latest series - just as we did with Bryan Gruley's Starvation Lake trilogy - so we can better appreciate the development of the character over time and in different situations.
As Hank tells it, this time out, Jane is confronted with the question: does a respected adoption agency have a frightening secret?
Tipped off by a determined ex-colleague on a desperate quest to find her birth mother, Boston newspaper reporter Jane Ryland begins to suspect that the agency is engaging in the ultimate betrayal—reuniting birth parents with the wrong children.
For detective Jake Brogan and his partner, a young woman's brutal murder seems a sadly predictable case of domestic violence, one that results in two toddlers being shuttled into the foster care system. Then Jake finds an empty cradle at the murder scene. Where is the baby who should have been sleeping there?
It's a trail of twists and turns that takes them deep into the heart of a foster care system in crisis and threatens to blow the lid off an adoption agency scandal. With a killer at large and an infant missing, time is running out...
Please join us on Thursday, February 20th at 7: 00 p.m. in Meeting Rm. B to pick up our trail on Jane Ryland (first seen in The Other Woman) - & Hank! We'll start discussing the book at 7:00 and at 7:30 p.m. it will be our great pleasure to welcome Hank herself, who is calling in to the discussion.
