Are you a fan of whodunits, thrillers, or classic detective fiction? The Mystery Lovers group is a welcoming space for anyone who enjoys reading, discussing, and even writing mysteries. We bring a variety of interests to the table—some of us are devoted to golden-age detective stories, while others prefer modern psychological thrillers or police procedurals.
Our discussions often center around favorite mystery writers and what makes their storytelling compelling. We explore themes, character development, and the art of crafting a satisfying twist. Occasionally, members may be inspired to share their own novel ideas or even excerpts of their writing for feedback in a supportive environment. Whether you’re a lifelong mystery reader, an aspiring author, or just curious, join us for engaging conversations and a shared love of the genre!

Silver Spring Village’s in-person book club will meet on the fourth Thursday afternoon of each month at 3:00 at the Brig. General Charles McGee Library at 900 Wayne Avenue.
The April 2025 book is: Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus
Set in 1960s California, this blockbuster debut is the hilarious, idiosyncratic, and uplifting story of a female scientist whose career is constantly derailed by the idea that a women’s place is in the home, only to find herself starring as the host of America’s most beloved TV cooking show. Laugh-out-loud funny, shrewdly observant, and studded with a dazzling case of supporting characters, Lessons in Chemistry is as original and vibrant as its protagonist.
