About
Founded in 1984, Suomen dekkariseura is a non-profit association based in Helsinki, Finland working on arts & culture.
The Finnish Whodunnit Society is a registered non-profit association based in Helsinki, founded in 1984. It brings together readers, authors, translators, journalists, critics, collectors and publishers interested in crime and detective fiction, both in Finland and abroad. The society publishes the quarterly magazine Ruumiin kulttuuri, awards the annual Clue of the Year prize for the best Finnish crime novel, and produces the Dekkaribrunssi podcast. It also runs open crime fiction evenings and reading circles in several cities, organises member trips and theatre outings, and takes part in the Helsinki Book Fair. Its activities are funded by membership fees, cultural magazine subsidies, project funding and sales of its own merchandise. Any surplus is used for its members, and the society does not seek profit.
