A selection of our Beauty and Lace Club members are reading When it Rains by Dave Warner.

Melissa says, "Warner’s plot is top-tier, and his story is taut, compelling, and suspenseful. The unbelievably twisty nature and unpredictability will have any reader racing through the pages. The author’s writing is crisp and captivating, and he has the gift of bringing strong emotions to life. It is hard to draw a full breath while reading to see what happens next."
