Join us as we read bestselling author Sulari Gentill's mystery, Shanghai Secrets, and then register to participate in the live discussion with the author!

Exploring the simmering underbelly of Shanghai just years before WWII, Shanghai Secrets is a historical mystery that brings alive an expatriate playground where East and West collide, the stakes are high, and fortunes—and lives—are easily lost.

Borrow a hardcover copy of the book from the library (we have 5 copies!) or read the ebook through Freading or hoopla digital.

Register here to save your spot for the author talk. Be sure to include Matawan-Aberdeen Public Library's name when you register.
