Welcome! Queen City Suspects is the Charlotte, NC chapter of the international mystery writing organization, Sisters in Crime. To join our chapter, please visit this page, Join Queen City Suspects.

We are readers, writers, publishers, booksellers, and librarians bound by our love for the mystery genre and our support of mystery writers.

We welcome everyone who supports our mission to promote the ongoing advancement, recognition, and professional development of women crime writers in the Charlotte area of North Carolina.​

We meet on the first or second Monday of every month (except December) and currently are meeting virtually via Zoom. Our meetings include casual chats, goal setting, progress check-ins, writing tips, as well as guest speakers. We also plan in-person field trips and meet-ups through the year. Please visit our calendar page for up-to-date information.

Our chapter is always on the lookout for guest speakers to educate our members on writing craft, criminal process and law, and anything related to mysteries, thrillers, and more.
