Our annual Field Trip! This year we've planned a little twist on an old favourite. In keeping with the expanding genre mashups in the mystery field we will be showcasing mystery novels with a twist. Think "alternative history" (Sherlock has a granddaughter), a sleuth's pet who can talk, a detective with periodic clarivoiance... you get the idea. These are full-on mysteries with engaging characters, clever plots, and unexpected elements. There will be munchies and imbibables.
Space is limited. Click here to reserve your spot!

Speaker meetings are held Jan-Jun and Sep-Nov:
We meet on the THIRD THURSDAY every month. Meetings begin at 7:00 p.m. in Room 200 at the Toronto Public Library, Northern District Branch, 40 Orchard View Blvd (just a block north of Eglinton subway station on Yonge, or half a block west of Yonge).
Take the elevator in the lobby to the second floor. Everyone is welcome to attend. Please note: a $5 fee is charged for non-members.
Join Us!
Interested in supper before the meeting? Starting at 5:00 p.m. some of us will get together for dinner at The Pickel Barrel, 2300 Yonge St. It’s just around the corner from the library. There is a wide variety of food, salads, and healthy options, and the prices are very reasonable.
