Murder on a Monday Reading Group 2023

Date & Time

This group will meet monthly from Monday 6th February – Monday 4th December 2023, 12:00-2:00pm.


“Murder on a Monday” is a crime and mystery reading group for SMSA Members.

The group normally meet on the first Monday each month at SMSA Level 1 or 3 from 12:00-2:00pm.

Each month a volunteer from the group will lead discussion on the agreed topic.

All attending are also encouraged to share with the group their current reads and views on the monthly topic.

This is a friendly and informal “brown bag” lunch event – that is, BYO lunch to munch over discussions. If you can only make part of the meeting, that’s fine. Just drop in for the time you have available.
