2023 One Book One Nebraska
The Mystery of Hunting's End by Mignon G. Eberhart
Smack in the middle of the rolling desolation is Hunting’s End, a weekend lodge owned by the rich Kingery family.
To that place socialite Matil Kingery invites a strange collection of guests — the same people who were at the lodge when her
father died of “heart failure” exactly five years ago. She intends to find out which one of them murdered him.
Libraries across Nebraska will join the Nebraska Center for the Book and other literary and cultural organizations in planning book discussions, activities, and events that will encourage Nebraskans to read and discuss this book.
One Book One Nebraska 2023 is sponsored by the Nebraska Center for the Book, Humanities Nebraska, and Nebraska Library Commission.
