This month's selection is: When the Stars Go Dark by Paula McLain

Anna Hart is a seasoned missing persons detective in San Francisco with far too much knowledge of the darkest side of human nature. When tragedy strikes her personal life, Anna, desperate and numb, flees to the Northern California village of Mendocino to grieve. She lived there as a child with her beloved foster parents, and now she believes it might be the only place left for her. Yet the day she arrives, she learns that a local teenage girl has gone missing.

This semi-autobiographical novel is both familiar and chilling. Paula McLain takes us on a visual journey through Mendocino as seen through the eyes of someone who knows and loves it well. You'll enjoy solving this mystery set in your own stomping grounds.
