Don't forget about September's book club pick!

September may be flying by, but there’s still time to squeeze in your next Libby Reads book.

This month, New Zealand’s digital book club is diving into Franz Josef by award-winning crime writer Alan Carter. You can borrow the book free through your participating library on Libby, then join Alan for a live author event on 30 September.

If you’re a fan of crime fiction, Franz Josef is one to add to your reading list. Set against the dramatic landscapes of New Zealand’s South Island, the novel brings together a murder investigation, a mysterious disappearance and plenty of questions about what really happened. And what better way to finish the month than by talking about the book with the person who wrote it?

On 30 September, Alan Carter will join Jacqueline Bublitz for a lively discussion about Franz Josef. Come along to hear more about the story, meet the author and share your thoughts with fellow readers. You might even get an answer to that one question you’ve been saving for the end.

Haven’t finished the book yet? No stress. Book clubs are about more than racing to the final page. Read as much as you can, then come along and enjoy the conversation.

Borrow Franz Josef free on Libby, then join Alan Carter and Jacqueline Bublitz on 30 September for the live author event.
