Classic genre fiction for 20 and 30 somethings

“One of the most stunning trick stories in the history of detective fiction…”.

For our next read, we will discuss one of the all-time great mystery novels: The Poisoned Chocolates Case

About the book:

• This classic story by Anthony Berkeley features multiple plausible solutions to the same mystery; a group of armchair detectives each propose a completely different explanation for the crime.
• The book can be viewed as a meta-commentary on the mystery genre (but it's a lot more entertaining than that sounds).
• The fictional "Crimes Circle" of armchair detectives in the book is based on real crime authors including Agatha Christie and Dorothy L. Sayers.

About the event:

• Location: The Mad Hatter Pub, 3-7 Stamford St, London SE1 9NY
• Timing: Saturday 13th June from 3-5pm.
• I'll have a sign on the table and a copy of the book so it should be easy to spot where we're meeting.
• Our table is booked for six - please update your RSVP if you are unable to attend so that other people can join.
• We have a WhatsApp group - totally optional but message me on Meetup if you want to join.

Happy reading!
