Event Description

Our next book club meeting will look at the whole genre of detective fiction - from Edgar Alan Poe to the present

The idea is that we choose various writers and look at their approach.
Please read any three of the stories - they are all short and be ready to tell us what you think!

Just short stories so we can easily read them

Details of the writers will appear later but at the moment we have. :

Edagar Alan Poe - the Purloined Letter
