One of our aims is to mostly introduce group members to crime writers we may not have come across, and that is our intention for the future.
Over time we've read books by crime writers from Australia, New Zealand, Sweden, Norway, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, the USA, Canada, the Netherlands, Germany and France - as well as the whole of the UK.
Purely for fun, group members score each month’s book on a 1 to 10 scale, with a view to our declaring the highest scoring book our ‘Murder Mystery of the Year’. Our most popular read in 2026 was Death in the East by Abir Mukherjee.
Please note that this group meets in a member’s home which unfortunately is not wheelchair accessible due to steps up to the house. However, one of our other groups may have wheelchair access so please send a message via the Group email link on this page.
