As well as reviewing the current group Whodunnit novel we share views of current crime fiction as seen on the television, and suggest any books or authors whose work we have read that other group members might enjoy.
As we usually meet in group members' homes, our numbers are quite limited. If you are interested in joining us please contact me at whodunnit@horshamu3a.org.uk or via the Groups' Co-ordinator using the Contacts page.
Below are the books we have read during the last year.
