Book Clubs

In-store book clubs have been temporarily suspended.  Please contact us if you interested in joining an online book club.

Mystery Lovers Bookshop hosts the following book clubs that meet regularly at the shop.  Due to the popularity of the book clubs, we recently added two more that meet on the 3rd Thursday of each month at 2pm and 7pm.  The other groups have met in the store for ten years or more!  All groups welcome new members.

If you’re interested in receiving more information on book clubs, please give us a call at 412.828.4877.  Please email us prior to attending your first meeting so we can 'virtually' introduce you to the members and the meeting date and times can be confirmed, occastionaly the date or times are adjusted due to holidays, etc.

This is the newest book club at our store with meetings to be held on the 3rd Thursday of each month at 2pm and again at 7pm.  September 2019 was the first month these clubs met and the conversation was great and we look forward to this book club meeting here for another 20 years!
