BAD Sydney Crime Book Club at SMSA | March

BAD Sydney Crime Book Club at SMSA

It’s great to listen to writers talk about their books, yet we often feel like offering our opinions on the story and characters, and hearing what other readers think. To that end, BAD has created a bookclub just for fans of crime writing. Come along to the new BAD Sydney Crime Book Club at the Sydney Mechanics’ School of Arts on the fourth Wednesday of the month from February to November. At each session, the conversation will be led by a member of the BAD board, each an expert in various aspects of crime writing. Plus, if we can get the author there to join in, we will! Places are limited and booking in advance is essential. See you there!

Venue: Tom Keneally Centre, Level 3, Sydney Mechanics’ School of Arts, 280 Pitt Street Sydney

Time: 12:30 - 1:30pm (arrive from 12:00pm and bring your lunch)

Cost: $10 per session, bookings essential

Benefits: BAD book-clubbers receive a $5 discount on the title when purchasing direct through Michael Duffy's website, plus the opportunity to meet the author at the session where we discuss their book (*attending authors will be advertised prior to the event). Every month there will also be a lucky door prize of your next great crime read!

March Pick: Death in the Gardens by Michael Duffy, hosted by Catherine du Peloux Menagé

Michael is co-founder of BAD and a crime writer. This is the latest in his Paul Ruel and Bella Greaves series set within Leura's Everglades Gardens in the Blue Mountains. A keen gardener disappears. When a body is found, Paul and Bella dig into the past to find the key. Crime reporter Kate McClymont’s take on the book is ‘Nasturtium Noir’.
