Over Booked Book Club - One of the Good Guys by Araminta Hall (20s & 30s)

REGISTRATION RECOMMENDED

Your 20s & 30s are perfect for starting new activities and trying new books! Join us at the 20s & 30s book club and find something new to read!

Add "Read more books" to your New Year's Resolutions and join the Over Booked Book Club with a thrilling mystery! Our first selection of the year is One of the Good Guys by Araminta Hall, where a recent divorcee and his mysterious neighbor have their coastal escapes disrupted by the violent double murder. 

Desperate to escape the ghosts of his failed marriage, Cole upends his life. He leaves London behind for a remote stretch of coast, relishing the respite from the noise, drama, and relentless careerism that curdled his relationship and mental health. Leonora has made the same move for similar reasons. She’s living a short walk from Cole’s seaside cottage, preparing for her latest art exhibition. Although Cole still can’t figure out what went wrong with his marriage, and Leonora is having trouble acclimating to the hostile landscape, the pair forges a connection on the eroding bluff they call home.

Then two young female activists raising awareness about gendered violence disappear while passing through. Cole and Leonora suddenly find themselves in the middle of a police investigation--and the resulting media firestorm when the world learns of what happened. And as the tension escalates alongside the search for the missing women, they quickly realize that they don’t know each other that well after all.
