Join us for wine, cheese and Ann Cleeves' thrilling Raven Black!

We invite you to an engaging evening of wine, cheese and thrilling conversation around Ann Cleeves' Raven Black: Book One of the Shetland Island Mysteies. Winner of Britain’s coveted Duncan Lawrie Dagger Award, Ann Cleeves introduces a dazzling new suspense series to mystery readers.

From Goodreads:

Raven Black begins on New Year’s Eve with a lonely outcast named Magnus Tait, who stays home waiting for visitors who never come. But the next morning the body of a murdered teenage girl is discovered nearby, and suspicion falls on Magnus. Inspector Jimmy Perez enters an investigative maze that leads deeper into the past of the Shetland Islands than anyone wants to go.

As always, please feel free to join even if you have not finished the book - no stress :-)

All attendees are asked to please bring one of the following:

1. A bottle of wine
2. Cheese and Crackers
3. An alternate beverage or nosh of your choice

Host will provide glasses, wine opener, plates & napkins.

To enhance the opportunity for great conversation, we would like to keep the group small. Please feel free to sign-up to meet us along with up to 2 friends.

In the future, we will vary books by genres, settings, eras, awards, themes, etc. The group will make the selections for dates and books at each meeting.

Please feel to share book titles for consideration for the next few months - perhaps we can share some ideas for Fall 2025 reads at the meeting.
