Reading Roundtable Adult Book Club- The Wager by David Grann

Join us monthly February through November for a book discussion for adult readers. Pick up a bookmark at the Recommendations desk with a list of books for upcoming discussions. Books will be a mix of non-fiction and fiction, and will be available at the check-out desk one month before the discussion date.

In March we will discuss The Wager: A Tale of Shipwreck, Mutiny and Murder by David Grann. In this tale of shipwreck, survival and savagery, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Killers of the Flower Moon recounts the events on His Majesty's Ship The Wager, a British vessel that left England in 1740 on a secret mission, resulting in a court martial that revealed a shocking truth.

Appeal factors: True crime history, non-fiction, well researched, suspenseful and compelling.
