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 20% discount from Abbey’s Bookstore in Sydney CBD for each month’s selected title after ticket purchase, 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!

Dinuka McKenzie will be in attendance at this month's book club!

September Pick: She Lied First by Dinuka McKenzie, hosted by Felix Shannon

Dinuka's first standalone novel after her award-winning Detective Kate Miles series is a psychological thriller with “a deep emotional core” according to author Shankari Chandran. BAD Sydney’s Crime Book Club wants to hear your thoughts on this intense story of two sisters who happily move into the perfect seaside apartment, only to have their lives unravelled by dark secrets.
