Books on Tap
Books on Tap, Phoenixville Public Library’s book discussion group for 20- and 30-something adults, will meet next on Tuesday, Sept. 26, at 7 PM, at Great American Pub, 148 Bridge St., Phoenixville. The group will discuss “In the Woods,” the bestselling debut novel by Tana French. After a 12-year-old Irish lad and his two pals fail to return from a day in the woods, searchers find only the terrified sixth grader — with blood-filled shoes and no memory of what happened. Now 32, the tragedy’s sole survivor Rob Ryan is a detective on Dublin’s Murder Squad. A current investigation takes Rob to the exact site of his childhood trauma. With the present case chillingly similar to his 20-year-old nightmare, Rob hopes to unlock the shrouded secrets of his past.
