Group reading of email mystery

Some time back I mentioned the mystery "Daughters of Freya," which readers receive in their email boxes rather than reading in bound form. A very interesting new publication concept. They're having a "group read" tomorrow (August 1), which the authors explain this way:

On August 1, readers around the world will be emailed the first installment of The Daughters of Freya, a mystery novel that is emailed to readers in installments over a three week period.

Participants will all read the mystery at the same time and will be able to discuss it as it's happening in an online forum, creating a shared experience out of what is normally a solitary activity. (Since everybody receives the installments at the same time, nobody can 'spoil' the mystery for others.)

Details available at the official site. Happy email sleuthing!
