The Book Nook — “A Lending Library”<br />

Hello Everyone, the Book Nook is now re-opened<br />

and we look forward to seeing you all come in and<br />

browse.<br />

Due to health reasons and COVID-19, masks must<br />

be worn at all times, and members no longer will sign<br />

out books but will hand them to the volunteer who<br />

will sign it out on your behalf. Please have your IPP<br />

card or membership card available which has your<br />

name on it. Also, all magazines have been removed<br />

due to COVID protocols.<br />

We have recently purchased new books for you to<br />

enjoy, one of which is the new book in the Seven<br />

Sister Series “The Missing Sister” by Lucinda Riley<br />

which was recently published.<br />

The book I am going to tell you about is “A<br />

Gambling Man” by David Baldacci. Aloysius<br />

Archer just got out of prison and plans to head to<br />

California and make a fresh start. Along the way, he<br />

stops in Reno where he meets Liberty Callahan, an<br />

aspiring actress who plans to go to Hollywood to<br />

become famous.<br />

While in Reno, he buys a 1939 Delahaye<br />

convertible which he can drive on this long trip,<br />

along with Liberty who he offers a ride to. They<br />

arrive in Bay Town, California, where Archer has<br />

arranged to meet with P.I. Willie Dash and train with<br />

him to become his apprentice. He lands the job with<br />

Dash but immediately is working a blackmail case<br />

involving a wealthy politician running for Mayor.<br />

It seems there are others who do not want him to<br />

become mayor and murders start taking place.<br />

Liberty manages to find a job at a local gambling den<br />

where one of the murders takes place, as Archer and<br />

Dash try to find who is responsible for these murders.<br />

There are many twists and turns in this page-turning<br />

book, which I hope you will enjoy reading as much<br />

as I did.<br />

Stay safe and healthy.<br />

Happy Reading,<br />

Your bookworm and Librarian,<br />
