BRTD Book Club - August 2025 | "The Last Good Kiss" by James Crumley

Hello and, as always, a warm welcome to all our new BRTD members!👋🏼

The August book announcement is *finally* here.

Our next meeting will take place on Saturday, August 30th at 5:30PM at Le Parc Cafe inside the Coral Gables Country Club (997 N Greenway Dr, Coral Gables, FL 33134).

How It Works:

A month(ish) prior to the next meetup, I will create the next event and announce the book we will be reading.📖 These will generally be in the mystery and thriller genre, of course. If anyone has suggestions or a book they've been wanting to read or that they read and loved that they feel would be good for this group, please don't hesitate to let me know!

For those of you who haven't joined us before:

We order drinks/food, I will have some questions for you (love hearing your thoughts!), and the rest is a free-flowing discussion.

This month's read is "The Last Good Kiss" by James Crumley.

***

ONE OF TIME MAGAZINE'S 100 BEST MYSTERY AND THRILLER BOOKS OF ALL TIME • One of the most influential crime novels ever written, by a legend of the genre.

"Tough, hard-boiled, and brilliantly suspenseful, The Last Good Kiss is an unforgettable detective story starring C. W. Sughrue, a Montana investigator who kills time by working at a topless bar. Hired to track down a derelict author, he ends up on the trail of a girl missing in Haight-Ashbury for a decade. The tense hunt becomes obsessive as Sughrue takes a haunting journey through the underbelly of America's sleaziest nightmares."
