​Book Recommendation of the Month
A Noise Downstairs by Linwood Barclay              
A man is troubled by odd sounds for which there is no rational explanation. College professor Paul Davis is a normal guy with a normal life. Until, driving along a deserted road late one night, he surprises a murderer disposing of a couple of bodies. That's when Paul's "normal" existence is turned upside down. After nearly losing his own life in that encounter, he finds himself battling PTSD, depression, and severe problems at work. His wife brings home a vintage typewriter--to encourage him to get started on that novel he's always intended to write. However, the typewriter itself is a problem. Paul swears it's possessed and types by  itself at night.  Only Paul can hear the noise coming from downstairs, and he  believes the typewriter is somehow connected to the murderer he discovered nearly a year ago.   Increasingly tormented but  determined to discover the truth and confront his nightmare, Paul begins investigating the deaths himself.  However, maybe Paul should just take the typewriter back to where his wife found it. Maybe he should stop asking questions and simply walk away while he can.
