Sisters in Crime-Toronto Chapter

On Feb. 18, we welcome welcome Barbara Rusch, who will be discussing why "Sherlock Holmes Will Never Die: Understanding His Enduring Appeal." Barbara knows what of she speaks, being past president of the Bootmakers of Toronto and vice-chair of the Friends of the Arthur Conan Doyle Collection at the Toronto Reference Library. She is also chairing an international conference taking place at the library in 2011. Entitled "Arthur Conan Doyle: A Study in Scandal," it will examine the controversy surrounding the creator of the Sherlock Holmes tales, both during his lifetime and after his death, as well as the theme of scandal in 19th century literature, theatre and popular culture.

Our next meeting is March 18. Please note: the Meetings page is temporarily unavailable.

Sisters in Crime Toronto Chapter meets on the third Thursday of each month at the University of Toronto Faculty Club, 41 Willcocks St. Visitors are welcome at our monthly meetings for a $5 admission charge.

Don't forget,if you have a lonely book or two looking for a new home, bring 'em to the book swap table at our meetings. One hitch though, if nobody wants your orphans, back to your place they go...

You can also come and mingle over a drink or dinner in the downstairs pub before meetings, perhaps even hoist a glass afterwards with our speaker of the evening. Alas, while the chat is free, the drinks and food aren't. But the prices are very reasonable.
