Saturday Murder & Crime Reading Group
Date & Time
Dust off your magnifying glass and enjoy a spirited discussion with fellow mystery and crime aficionados with the original SMSA Crime & Mystery Reading Group.
The group meets one Saturday a month to reveal the chosen titles and pick apart the monthly theme. Whether you’re an armchair sleuth with a suspect in every chapter or are new to the scene of the crime, this is your summons to dissect the evidence, debate the motive and enjoy a spirited discussion over morning tea.
Please note: this group is currently FULL. Call 02 9262 7300 or email membership@smsa.org.au to enquire about the waitlist.
