Join librarian Jack for a discussion on the thrilling mystery "Look Closer" by David Ellis.

When a beautiful socialite is found hanging in a mansion in a nearby suburb, Simon and Vicky's complex web of secrets begins to unravel. A whirlwind affair. A twenty-million-dollar trust fund about to come due. A decades-long grudge and an obsession with revenge. Both Vicky and Simon are liars--but just who exactly is conning who? There will be much to discuss in this thrilling mystery! Copies available at the Circulation Desk.
