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.


The group is currently full.  Any changes to this will be published in our Newsletter.

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

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

There is a topic for each month, and members read books of their own choosing that relate to that topic.

Each meeting, a volunteer from the group will give a short presentation on that month’s topic, then members are encouraged to share with the group comments on the books they have read in the past month.

This is a friendly “brown bag” lunch event – that is, BYO lunch to munch during our meeting.
