How to Host a Murder Mystery Book Club
A murder mystery book club is a delightful way to share your interest with like-minded readers of suspense novels and thrillers. You need to find at least three or four (preferably six to eight) other people who enjoy the genre to invite to your club. Once you have a group and set up a meeting and hosting schedule, you will be ready for your first meeting. Playing host to your mystery book club is an opportunity for fun and creativity.
