Welcome to Michigan Sisters in Crime

We are one of 51 chapters world-wide, offering networking, advice and support to mystery authors. We are authors, readers, booksellers and librarians bound by our affection for the mystery genre and our support of women who write mysteries.
Our chapter welcomes both “sister” and “mister” readers/writers of mystery, suspense, true crime, thrillers, as well as other genres.
