This group will meet every fourth Saturday of the month from Saturday 21st January – Saturday 16th December 2023, 10:30am-12:30pm.
Mystery & Crime Reading Group 2023

Date & Time
The original SMSA Mystery and Crime Reading Group has been meeting for many years for informal discussion on books in this genre. New members are welcome to join us.
The group meets every fourth Saturday to hear which books the members have chosen to read on the month’s theme, and to discuss the many issues and recollections that come up. It’s a great way to discover new authors over morning tea on a Saturday.
Contact the Group Coordinator if you’d like to join:
