More Thanksgiving mysteries/Mystery Book Groups

To add to the Turkey Talk, the Lucius Beebe Memorial Library in Wakefield, MA, has a great list of Thanksgiving mysteries. The Rap Sheet, one of the best blogs out there, brought this to my attention.

Being that I love to read books on certain themes, the Supper Sleuths, the library's mystery discussion group, is right up my alley. This group meets the second Tuesday at 6 p.m. December 9, 2008 at 5:45pm to 7:30 pm. January 13, 2009: Scottish Detectives; February 10, 2009: Victorian Mysteries; March 10, 2009: Journalists as Authors of Mysteries; April 14, 2009: Treasure Hunts; May 12, 2009: Fiscal Fandangos: Financial Mysteries; June 9, 2009: Free Read/ Potluck.

For more mystery reading groups, go to the Mystery Readers Journal Listing of Mystery Book Groups.

Want your book group listed? Send me the contact info with name, time, location, book selections (if you have them), contact name, email, phone. Janet@mysteryreaders.org. Love to add your group to our list.
