The Detection Club

The Detection Club is an exclusive society of crime writers formed in the UK in 1930. Originally established to promote the genre of detective fiction, it includes famous authors like Agatha Christie and Arthur Conan Doyle. Members adhere to a code of ethics for writing mysteries, which emphasizes fair play and ensuring that readers can solve the crime alongside the detective. The club often participates in literary events and collaborates on anthologies, celebrating the craft of writing engaging whodunits while fostering a community among authors dedicated to the art of mystery storytelling.
