Join the North Providence Mystery Book Club on Tuesday,
August 12, 2025*. We will be discussing Nine Elms by Robert Bryndza.
This is the first book featuring Kate Marshall a former police officer, now
working as a college lecturer.
The book description from the author’s website is: “Kate
Marshall was a promising young police detective when she caught the notorious
Nine Elms serial killer. But her greatest victory suddenly turned into a
nightmare. Traumatized, betrayed, and publicly vilified for the shocking
circumstances surrounding the cannibal murder case, Kate could only watch as
her career ended in scandal.
Fifteen years after those catastrophic events, Kate is still
haunted by the unquiet ghosts of her troubled past. Now a lecturer at a small
coastal English university, she finally has a chance to face them. A copycat
killer has taken up the Nine Elms mantle, continuing the ghastly work of his
idol.
Enlisting her brilliant research assistant, Tristan Harper,
Kate draws on her prodigious and long-neglected skills as an investigator to
catch a new monster. Success promises redemption, but there’s much more on the
line: Kate was the original killer’s intended fifth victim…and his successor
means to finish the job.”
We will be meeting on the second Tuesday in August in the
First Floor Conference Room at 6:30 pm, and on Zoom. Please see Sara at the
Reference Desk for more information.
