The book for September was Oxygen and everyone seemed to enjoy the book. Linda felt it became a bit like a Harlequin romance novel towards the end. Some members thought they knew who the protagonist was right from the beginning and others were surprised to find out. It was the third book by Carol Cassella and all are medical dramas set in the Seattle area.
The book for October is Invisible Thread, by Laura Schroff. The meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, October 27 at 5:30 PM at Cindy’s.
