The Friends Book Club Will Dine on 'The Midnight Feast on February 18
The Cascade Friends Book Club has some interesting books scheduled for discussion over the next few months, including KDL’s “On the Same Page” selection in March, which will be reviewed by all discussion groups throughout the KDL system.
The titles for the February and April club meetings are discussed briefly below. However, the March title had not been announced as of this writing.
February 18, 2026: "The Midnight Feast" (Lucy Foley)
This murder mystery is set during the grand opening of a luxury hotel, The Manor, on the Dorset coast, where secrets and old grudges among guests, staff, and locals erupt, leading to a fire, multiple deaths, and an investigation that unearths dark past events, including a fateful summer from 15 years prior involving poisonous brownies.
The story uses multiple perspectives (Francesca, Owen, Bella, Eddie) and a flashback journal to reveal how past guilt and present tensions culminate in tragedy, with local folklore about "the birds" adding an eerie, justice-seeking element.
March 18, 2026: To Be Determined by KDL
April 15, 2026: "The Waters" (Bonnie Campbell)
This is a story about three generations of women on a Michigan swamp island, centered on herbalist Hermine "Herself" Zook and her precocious, nature-loving granddaughter, Dorothy "Donkey" Zook, exploring themes of rural life, female power, family secrets, and tradition vs. modernity as dark elements from the outside world threaten their isolated haven.
The story follows Donkey's coming-of-age as she navigates her grandmother's powerful healing magic and her mother's struggles, while confronting the changing landscape, violent men, and the complexities of love, resilience, and community in a world where nature and brutality intertwine.
Book discussions are held at 10 am in the Wisner Center at the Cascade Library on the third Wednesday of the month. If you would like to join the book discussions, you can simply show up (no registration is required).
