I figured if it's a New York Times Bestseller, chances are it's pretty dang good.  If you agree, consider giving this meet up a try?   Except for May, we're currently planning to meet the 3rd Saturday of each month.  When the 3rd Saturday is a holiday weekend, we'll probably move it up or back a week for the convenience of the people who travel on those lon …

This is meant to be an inclusive group – anyone who identifies as feminist or wants to learn more is welcome! Once the group gets rolling, I hop …

Read the Message Board and Files for an idea of how our meetings work, what constitutes a "critique," tips on w …

We take that seriously and hope that if and when you join our community, we get to meet you soon after. If our group were to have a mission statement, it would probably be along the lines of, "Dedicated to legitimizing the mystery novel as a form of literature...while at the same time indulging in our passion!"
