Book Review
“The Long Drop” by
Denise Mina
William Watt’s wife, daugh-
ter and sister-in-law are dead,
slaughtered in their own home
in a brutal crime that scandal-
ized Glasgow, Scotland. Despite
an ironclad alibi, police zero in
on Watt as the primary suspect,
but he maintains his innocence.
Distraught and desperate to
clear his name, Watt puts out a
bounty for information that will
lead him to the real killer.
Peter Manuel claims he knows
the truth that will absolve Watt
and has information that only
the killer would know. It won’t
come cheap. Manuel is an infa-
mous career criminal, a degen-
erate liar who can’t be trusted
and will say or do anything to
make a buck.
But Manuel has something
that Watt wants, which makes
him the perfect target for Man-
uel’s consummate con. Watt
agrees to sit down with Manu-
el, and before they know it, one
drink has turned into an epic,
forgotten night of carousing
across the city’s bars and clubs
that exposes the thin line be-
tween a good yard and the truth.
The next time the unlikely
pair meet is across the witness
stand in court — where Manu-
el is on trial for the murder of
librarians. Usually, there is only
one librarian on duty at a time.
All Oregon residents are invit-
ed to take advantage of this free
service.
Watt’s family. Manuel calls Watt
to the stand to testify about the
long, shady night they shared.
And the shocking testimony
that Manuel coaxes out of Watt
threatens to expose the dark
hearts of the guilty … and the
innocent.
Based on true events, “The
Long Drop,” by Denise Mina,
is an explosive, unsettling novel
about guilt, innocence and the
power of a good story to hide
the difference.
Concert: Folksongs of
the American Labor
Movement
The library is pleased to pres-
ent Adam Miller, one of the pre-
mier autoharpists in the country,
on Thursday, Aug. 30, at noon in
the library’s Bromley Room.
Miller, a folksinger and nat-
ural-born storyteller, will be
celebrating Labor Day in this
popular program featuring folk-
songs about the people who
built America and their struggle
to overcome the conditions of
their labor.
Based in Drain, Ore., Miller
travels 70,000 miles and per-
forms 200 concerts annually at
libraries, schools and festivals.
Praised by such diverse mu-
sicians as George Winston and
Pete Seeger, the library is excited
that Miller will be performing
here.
Story Times on Break
Story times and Lego Club
at the library will be on hiatus
during the month of August.
Come back in September when
they start up on Tuesday, Sept. 7,
the day after Labor Day.
