Join the discussion of A Sunlit Weapon, which is our Once Upon a Crime Mystery Book Club selection for June 2023. Pick up a copy at the Highland Branch.

October 1942. Ferry pilot Jo Hardy is delivering a Supermarine Spitfire to Biggin Hill Aerodrome when she realizes someone is shooting at her aircraft from the ground. Returning to the location on foot, she finds an American serviceman in a barn, bound and gagged, and turns him over to the American military police: he is a suspect in the disappearance of a fellow soldier who is missing. Two days later another ferry pilot crashes in the same area where Jo's plane was attacked, and Jo seeks the help of investigator Maisie Dobbs. Maisie's husband, a high-ranking political attache based at the American embassy, is in the thick of ensuring security for the first lady of the United States, Eleanor Roosevelt, during her visit to Britain. German agents are already circling. Is the visit connected to Maisie's case?

About the branch

The Highland Branch Library has long played an important role in downtown Highland. From its beginnings in rented storefronts to the Highland Memorial Library built in 1946 to its present location on Jewett and 4th Street, it has been an integral part of the community. The exterior of the library looks nearly as it did when it was first built in 1966. Although it is one of the oldest buildings in the library system, it's newly remodeled interior makes it one of the newest. The library still houses over 65,000 items, but now also features a large meeting room and children's program room, a small group room, and WiFi, along with many public Internet computers. These features, along with the library's bright and inviting atmosphere and convenient location, make the Highland Branch Library a destination for the community and surrounding areas.
