The Mystery of Hunting's End
by Mignon G. Eberhart
The selection committee for the 2023
One Book One Nebraska enjoyed the concept of a mystery. This is a book
that keeps the reader guessing as to who is behind the murders taking
place in a lodge outside of Valentine during a blizzard. Why were these
murders committed, are any of the guests staying at the lodge safe, and
who is the killer? The book is full of colorful characters, including
Nurse Sarah Keate and detective Lance O’Leary. The reader is challenged
to find clues that will lead to the discovery of who is the guilty
party.
The
One Book One Nebraska reading program is entering its
nineteenth year. It encourages Nebraskans across the state to read and
discuss one book, chosen from books written by Nebraska authors or that
have a Nebraska theme or setting. A committee of the Nebraska Center for
the Book selected this book from a list of twenty-seven titles nominated
by Nebraskans from across the state. The Nebraska Center for the Book
board announced the choice for the 2023 One Book One Nebraska on October 22, at
the annual Celebration of Nebraska Books.
Libraries across Nebraska will join other literary and cultural
organizations in planning book discussions, activities, and events that
will encourage Nebraskans to read and discuss this book. Support
materials to assist with local reading/discussion activities are
available on the Get Involved page. Updates and activity listings
are posted on the
One Book One Nebraska Facebook group.
One Book One Nebraska is sponsored by
Nebraska Center for the Book,
Humanities Nebraska,
and
Nebraska Library Commission.
The Nebraska Center for the Book is housed at and supported
by the Nebraska Library Commission and brings together the state's
readers, writers, booksellers, librarians, publishers, printers,
educators, and scholars to build the community of the book, supporting
programs to celebrate and stimulate public interest in books, reading,
and the written word.
