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.

This group will meet once a month, on a 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.
