Mysterious Manawatū is back this Friday

Mysterious Manawatū is one of 30+ ‘Mystery in the Library’ author panel events being held in the lead up to the Ngaio Marsh Awards.

Last year’s panel was great fun and I know this year will be too! I’ll be joining four other criminally good authors: Gareth and Louise Ward (The Bookshop Detectives), Riley Chance, and Tina Shaw. We’ll be at the Palmerston North City Library on the ground floor (George Street entrance) from 6pm, Friday 2 May 2025.

If you’re local, or based not too far away, it’d be great to see you there! Tell your friends, your book club, and your shady aunty who loves a good mystery.
