MAR 7 | 3PM LADIES LOCKER ROOM

“Dragonfly” by Leila Meacham At the height of WWII, five idealistic young Americans receive a mysterious letter from the OSS, asking if they are willing to fight for their country. The men and women from very different backgrounds – a Texan athlete with German roots, an upper-crust son of a French mother and a wealthy businessman, a dirt-poor Midwestern fly fisherman, an orphaned fashion designer, and a ravishingly beautiful female fencer – all answer the call of duty, but each for a secret reason of their own. They bond immediately, in a group code-named Dragonfly. Thus begins a riveting cat-and-mouse game. But...is everything as it seems, or is this one more elaborate act of spycraft? Review: Goodreads

APR 4 | 3PM LADIES LOCKER ROOM

“The Last Thing He Told Me” by Laura Daves Before Owen Michaels disappears, he smuggles a note to his beloved wife of one year: Protect her. Despite her confusion and fear, Hannah Hall knows exactly to whom the note refers – Owen’s sixteen-year-old daughter, Bailey. Bailey, who lost her mother tragically as a child. Bailey, who wants absolutely nothing to do with her new stepmother. As Hannah’s increasingly desperate calls to Owen go unanswered, as the FBI arrests Owen’s boss, as a US marshal and federal agents arrive at her Sausalito home unannounced, Hannah quickly realizes her husband isn’t who he said he was. With its breakneck pacing, this riveting mystery is certain to shock you. Review: Simon & Schuster
