November Session: The Cut Throat Trial by S J Fleet

B&NES Libraries completely free, online only, crime reading, monthly book group!

This event needs to be booked & is held online.
From old-fashioned detectives to modern-day mysteries
Join us on the last Thursday of every month at 6pm to discuss our chosen crime book. We’ll send out the link to the secure Teams room a few hours before each meet-up, so you have plenty of time to make a cuppa and get comfy.
We have two wonderful volunteers, but encourage all members of the group to suggest books and lead sessions.
Volunteer Rachel Ward is the author of the popular Ant and Bea Mysteries set in Kingsleigh, a town which bears a remarkable resemblance to Keynsham. Rachel also wrote the YA series Numbers and hosts a fortnightly book group on twitter using the hashtag #CosyCrimeClub.
Our group is open to all LibrariesWest members. If you don’t yet have a library card, you register HERE.
The group is aimed at adults, but under 18s can join us if they are accompanied by a responsible adult.
Sign up for the July to June meet-ups. Places are limited, so reserve your space now!
You only need to book one session to be signed up to all!
If you have any questions or suggestions feel free to contact us or visit: baneslibraries.co.uk/groups/bath-bloodhounds-book-group

Upcoming Sessions

We decide on books to read 2-3 months in advance, so you have plenty of time to get reading! We suggest you check if the books are in stock in your local Library in plenty of time, so you can place a reservation if they’re on loan.
