Friday Afternoon 'Crime Time' Readers' Group at Urmston Library

Love a good mystery? Think you can solve the mystery before the final chapter?

Step into the world of thrilling whodunnits, gripping psychological suspense and page-turning crime fiction at Crime Time Readers’ Group.

Whether you're a devoted crime reader or looking to explore the genre for the first time, Crime Time offers a friendly and welcoming space to share your thoughts and discover new favourites.

From classic detectives and cosy mysteries to modern thrillers and bestselling crime writers, each meeting is a chance to discuss intriguing characters, unexpected plot twists and the clues you spotted - or missed!

Reading and discussing books can broaden perspectives, stimulate the mind and introduce readers to authors and stories they may never have discovered on their own. It's also a great way to meet like-minded people, enjoy lively conversation and connect with others who share a passion for books.

Crime Time - cracking cases, one chapter at a time!

Upcoming Reads:
- 25 September – The Girls by Lisa Jewell
- 30 October – A World of Curiosities by Louise Penny
