Here are the Top 10 ebooks downloaded from the Free Library's OverDrive Digital Library in September 2015.

More than 85,300 ebooks were checked out and downloaded for the month!

For the third straight month, the most downloaded ebook was Paula Hawkins' The Girl On The Train. Harper Lee's pseudo-sequel (or perhaps just disregarded passages from the original draft of) To Kill A Mockingbird, Go Set A Watchman jumped up to the number two spot and seems to be more of a literary curiosity more than anything at this point. Mystery and Suspense Thriller genre titles from the usual suspects such as James Patterson, Gillian Flynn, Harlan Coben, Lee Child, and Michael Connelly filled out the rest of this month's top ten, with a couple of Romance and Historical Fiction titles thrown in for good measure, like Diana Gabaldon's epic Outlander series.

The following list comprises titles from across all genres, downloaded from both our website and mobile site.

1.		The Girl on the Train (fiction, suspense) by Paula Hawkins Continuing with the "unreliable narrator" theme, The Girl on the Train is a classic and suspensefully thrilling page turner. Rachel rides the same commuter train every morning, a boring and predictable experience each ride, until she catches a shocking glimpse of the unspeakable. Unable to keep it to herself, Rachel offers what she knows to the police, and becomes inextricably entwined in what happens next, as well as in the lives of everyone involved. Has she done more harm than good?
2.		Go Set a Watchman (fiction) by Harper Lee Overdrive would have you believe this is book two in the To Kill A Mockingbird Series. Um, NO. What this book is—depending on what you read or believe—is a separate novel set after the events in the Pulitzer Prize–winning To Kill A Mockingbird or excerpts from said novel that were edited out of the published draft. Set in Maycomb, Alabama, twenty-six-year-old Jean Louise Finch—"Scout"—returns home from New York City to visit her aging father, Atticus. Civil rights tensions and political turmoil still abound in the South and Jean Louise's homecoming turns bittersweet when she learns disturbing truths about her close-knit family, the town, and the people dearest to her.
3.		All the Light We Cannot See (historical fiction) by Anthony Doerr Set in England and France during World War II, Anthony Doerr's All the Light We Cannot See is a book about the human spirit and the will to survive under insurmountable odds. The story of a blind French girl and an orphaned German boy whose lives cross paths, children thrust into a war-torn world and forced to make life a death decisions. Emotional and suspenseful, with intricately written detailed passages among the backdrop of history.
4.		Gone Girl (fiction, mystery suspense thriller) by Gillian Flynn Gone Girl, the best-selling book now turned blockbuster movie, is the tale of a wife gone missing, a suspected husband, a nosey community, sensational media blitz, and the lies everyone tells to themselves and others to safegurad their own dark secrets.
