The Red Lotus / Chris Bohjalian

The Nashua Public Librarians offered a Beyond the Book program with Chris Bohjalian (you can watch this through August 15 by going to their event calendar and clicking the link for it on June 23). They mentioned the book The Red Lotus and shared the timely connection to a pandemic. After a year of reading young adult fiction, I was ready for an adult book so I decided to indulge myself.

So what did I think? There is such a great connection here made between doctors and private investigators - the job really is very similar. In each position one must look at the clues and figure out what is going on. I loved this connection. The pandemic piece was just freaky. If you like a good mystery - visit the NPL to borrow this book - they have both print copies or you can borrow it through Libby.
