THE SEVENTH ANNUAL ALUMNI & FRIENDS BOOK CLUB will feature”What’s Done in Darkness” by Truman alumna Laura McHugh (’96).

Named one of the best books of the year by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, “What’s Done in Darkness” is a suspenseful thriller about Sarabeth, a teenager from a strict, religious later dumped by a masked man. Years later, while living under a new name, she returns to her hometown to help investigate similar disappearances and uncover buried secrets.

McHugh graduated from Truman with a degree in English in 1996. She is an award-winning, internationally bestselling author. She grew up in small towns in Iowa and Missouri, and all of her books are set in the rural Midwest. “What’s Done in Darkness,” like her other novels, has secrets woven into a compelling page turner. The Truman Alumni & Friends Book Club will wrap with a virtual conversation with McHugh at noon (Central) on July 8.
