Mystery Readers International's Book Group has been meeting for over 30 years. We meet every Tuesday night at my home in Berkeley. After reading a series of terrific but very dark books this past Fall with a recurrent theme of children in jeopardy (not planned as a theme for our reading), I've decided that it's time to revisit some earlier authors. I've put together a list that will be a great springboard for more reading.New members to the group are welcome. We meeting on Tuesday nights at 7 p.m. If you live in the San Francisco Bay Area or are passing through, please join us.

ReplyDeleteI just completed a book discussion of The Doorbell Rang on DorothyL -- what a wonderful selection. And of course, I have no argument with anything by Craig Rice!
That's a great list Janet.
ReplyDeleteHave I asked you if you have time to take part in the activity I have running on my blog at present until Jan 4?
It would be great if you have time.
Any of your readers are very welcome too.
