Join us for the May meeting of the JP Mystery Book Club! Every month we will be reading and discussing a mystery, with a focus on diverse authors and stories. Copies of each month’s book will be available at the Jamaica Plain Branch and on Libby/Overdrive. We meet on the third Thursday of each month from 6 to 7:30 PM.For May, in honor of Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, we will be reading Miracle Creek by Angie Kim.
In rural Virginia, Young and Pak Yoo run an experimental medical treatment device known as the Miracle Submarine, a pressurized oxygen chamber that patients enter for therapeutic 'dives' with the hopes of curing issues like autism or infertility. But when the Miracle Submarine mysteriously explodes, killing two people, a dramatic murder trial upends the Yoos' small community. Who or what caused the explosion? Was it the mother of one of the patients, who claimed to be sick that day but was smoking down by the creek? Or was it Young and Pak themselves, hoping to cash in on a big insurance payment and send their daughter to college? The ensuing trial uncovers unimaginable secrets from that night: trysts in the woods, mysterious notes, child-abuse charges as well as tense rivalries and alliances among a group of people driven to extraordinary degrees of desperation and sacrifice.
