Join us as we read bestselling author Greer Macallister's next mystery, The Arctic Fury, and then register to participate in the live discussion with the author!

A dozen women join a secret 1850s Arctic expedition—and a sensational murder trial unfolds when some of them don't come back. Macallister uses the true story of Lady Jane Franklin's tireless attempts to find her husband's lost expedition as a jumping-off point to spin a tale of bravery, intrigue, perseverance and hope.

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

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

It is storytime! Join us to read books, sing songs, and do fun activities! Miss Leslie and Miss Allyson will be on Zoom Tuesday & Thursday mornings in the New Year to read to you.
