Library Tidings by Kevin Mittge Big Little Lies By Liane Moriarty Review by Susie Voth Liane Moriarty is my current favorite author. I have read and enjoyed many of her books. “Big Little Lies” is no exception. There has been a murder at Pirriwee Public School. The reader knows this fact from the onset of the book. Who is killed and how the person died is a mystery. Moriarty is a gardener who scrupulously tends to when and where clues will be planted. Chapters begin and/or end with interviews. The police are talking to local community members about the events lead- ing up to the murder. Pay attention, there is a huge cast of characters and some of this information may seem irrel- evant — but it is not. Three women, Madeline, Celeste and Jane, are not inter- viewed. They hold the keys to this unfolding mystery. Their intersecting stories make up the bulk of the book. Madeline is a flashy dresser, and the flash carries over into her personality. When she is “PMS-ing,” the flash turns into flames. She stands up for her friends in her designer stiletto heels. “Oh, calamity!” Celeste is head-turningly beautiful even though she dress- es down and doesn’t use cosmet- ics of any sort. She married the extremely wealthy Perry and they live in a million-dollar man- sion with their twin sons. Why then is she always flustered and hesitant? Jane and her son Ziggy recent- ly moved to Pirriwee. Jane is so young that at kindergarten orien- tation, one of the other mothers mistook her for a nanny. Jane’s life is a bit rough but she is tough and there is nothing she will not do for her son. I have both read and listened to this witty, engaging book. The audiobook is narrated by Caroline Lee. Her reading is impeccable, the perfect tone for the many characters. Quattrosound at the library Internationally renowned musical group Quattrosound will be at the library on Friday, Oct. 9, at 11 a.m. This Grammy-nominated quartet blends jazz, pop and classical with a Latin flavor.

On May 21, 1998, an expelled student walked onto the campus of Springfield’s Thurston High School with three guns. In a five-minute period he fired off hundreds of rounds, killing one and wounding 23 others. One of those injured died later. The night before, the 16-year-old had also murdered his parents in their home. One of the students who suffered a serious head wound in the Thurston attack was Teresa Miltonberger. Doctors did not think she would survive, but just over two months after the shooting, she was released from the hos- pital and headed home. It wasn’t over for her and her family. Her parents grew up in Florence, and have since retired here. They and Teresa are still dealing with the trau- ma of that day, 17 years later. Bill Miltonberger, Teresa’s dad, will talk about what’s ahead for the family and friends of the nine people who were killed last week by a gunman on the campus of Umpqua Community College in Roseburg. Miltonberger and former KEZI 9 anchor Rick Dancer, who covered the Thurston shooting in detail, will join host Bob Sneddon on this Are you looking for an agent you can trust?
