The Poisoned Chocolates Case @ The Mad Hatter Pub

“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!
