Derby Public Library to host book discussion

DERBY - The Derby Public Library has scheduled its next Lunchtime Book Discussion for Oct. 25 at 12:30 p.m.  

The selected title is The Guests on South Battery by Karen White.  

This novel set in historic Charlestown, S.C. combines the paranormal with history and romance.
  

Just when Melanie Trenholm is about to return to her real estate job after the birth of her twins, a phone call with no voice on the other end makes her fearful that the ghostly apparitions that have stayed silent for more than a year are about to invade her life again.  

Then, on her first day back, a young woman, Jayne Smith, walks into the office to discuss selling a house that she has just inherited from 

someone she doesn’t know. 
Family mysteries and old secrets soon begin to resurface.  

Dessert and beverages will be provided.  Registration is requested.  

For information stop by the Library, 313 Elizabeth St., call 203-736-1482, or visit www.derbypubliclibrary.org.    


This is a press release from Cathy Williams, Director, Derby Public Library.
