Oadby Library Crime Readers' Group

Do you love reading crime novels?
Would you like to share what you have read with other people?
Then why not join our Crime Readers' Group?
We meet on the 1st Tuesday of the month from 6.00 - 7.00pm

Next meeting - Tuesday 7 July - Talk by local writer Ben Beazley about his new book ‘Crooked Mile’

We are a group of people who enjoy reading crime novels and talking about them with others and would be pleased to see any new faces. The books are chosen by the group in advance and we normally discuss one author or title each month. We often have visiting speakers and enjoy trying quizzes and writing reviews.
