Sundays Slay Me Mystery Book Club

Meet kindred classic mystery lovers in a local Book Club!  Do you wonder "Who done it"?  Do you use "the little grey cells"?  Or do you think "it's elementary"?

You do?  Then the obvious deduction is that you should join the Sundays Slay Me Mystery Book Club.

We meet on the first Sunday of each month.  Our primary activity is to discuss a classic murder mystery novel by renowned mystery authors: Agatha Christie, Arthur Conan Doyle, Dorothy Sayers, Ellery Queen, Dashiell Hammett, Raymond Chandler, Erle Stanley Gardner, Wilkie Collins, etc.  We read works written prior to and during the "Golden Age" of mysteries (the 1920s-40s).  Normally, we do NOT read any contemporary works (unless the author is especially good at recreating a period setting).  Special events are scheduled occasionally:  monthly Movie Nights; Game Nights; Murder Mystery Dinner Parties; and more.

Find our Master Book List in the "Files" section (a work in progress).  This year's Reading List is on the Message Board.  Look in the Photo Albums for thematic bookmarks.

Please read the general introduction, rules, and no-show policy in the "Pages" section.
