 August’s featured title is Pretty Girls by Karin Slaughter. More than
twenty years ago, Claire and Lydia's teenaged sister Julia vanished
without a trace. The two women have not spoken since, and now
their lives could not be more different. Claire is the glamorous
trophy wife of an Atlanta millionaire. Lydia, a single mother, dates
an ex-con and struggles to make ends meet. But neither has
recovered from the horror and heartbreak of their shared loss -- a
devastating wound that's cruelly ripped open when Claire's husband
is killed. The disappearance of a teenage girl and the murder of a
middle-aged man, almost a quarter-century apart: what could
connect them? Forming a wary truce, the surviving sisters look to
the past to find the truth, unearthing the secrets that destroyed
their family all those years ago... and uncovering the possibility of
redemption, and revenge where they least expect it.
