British Mysteries Book Club - The Distant Echo by Val McDermid

Do you love British Mysteries? I know I do! I love reading them and watching them on Acorn and Britbox. Each month we will read a British Mystery, in particular one that has been made into a TV show or movie. Already read it? Watch the show and discuss with us the differences. Already read it, but forgot what it was about? Re-read it and join us for some great conversation and community!

These stories about the most talented British sleuths are always entertaining and each us at the edge of our seats!

The Zoom Link will be sent to you two hours before the meeting.
