Elizabeth is Missing - 27th September




The last book, The Vorrh, caused a lot of discussion, mostly trying to figure out what happened. It was a very strange book with a lot of characters interwoven in that made it difficult to follow. The majority liked the book, although you need to be a fantasy fan to enjoy it.


The next book is Elizabeth is Missing by Emma Healey



"In this darkly riveting debut novel—a sophisticated psychological mystery that is also a heartbreakingly honest meditation on memory, identity, and aging—an elderly woman descending into dementia embarks on a desperate quest to find the best friend she believes has disappeared, and her search for the truth will go back decades and have shattering consequences." - Goodreads
