I am happy to announce that April's Mitchell Mystery Reading Group event is now open! This month we will discuss 1943's Sunset over Soho, one of Gladys Mitchell's most challenging but intriguing Mrs. Bradley stories. The group will read and discuss a section of the book each week:
TUES. APRIL 6 – Comments due for Chapter 1 “Blitz”
through Chapter 6 “Mermaid”
TUES. APRIL 13 – Comments due for Chapter 7 “Fugitive”
through Chapter 12 “Tryst”
TUES. APRIL 20 – Comments due for Chapter 13 “Castaway”
through Chapter 18 “Angels”
TUES. APRIL 27 – Comments due for Chapter 19 “Prodigal”
through Chapter 23 “Meeting”
I realize that print editions are difficult to obtain, but I had heard from multiple readers that Sunset over Soho would make for a compelling choice, and I think so too. Currently, U.S. Kindle owners can purchase the eBook text through Amazon.com, but it is unavailable in the UK and elsewhere. Our next group reading will occur at the end of the year, and I promise that the chosen title will be one that is in print and available to all.
If you want to participate in the blog discussion, please send your comments (generally a few lines to a few paragraphs) to me at jason@jasonhalf.com before the due date listed above for each weekly section. You can also comment on the page to continue the conversation. If you would like to read along with us but not send comments, that's fine too. There is always an engaging set of topics chosen and covered with every book we explore, so I hope that you find the observations instructive and enjoyable. Cheers -- JH
