While stocks last. The discount will appear in the Checkout. Applies only when purchasing these three special editions together:
APRIL Tuesday 14 • 5.30pm • The Women's Club
Over the last century, the victim in crime fiction has changed from being the disposable pretext to playing a vital role centre stage. Sue Turnbull (crime reviewer, academic and writer) and Felix Shannon (broadcaster, host of Final Draft, and crime fiction critic) will discuss this significant shift with award-winning journalist and author Louise Milligan. Join us for drinks, nibbles and a lively debate about new trends in crime fiction.
MAY Thursday 7 • 5.30pm • Sydney Mechanics’ School of Arts
Georgia Harper’s Dove asks what a day without men might be like; Mercedes Mercier's The Couples Retreat embodies a haunting past in an ex, and Jane Caro’s Lyrebird finds more truth in nature than men. Three of Australia’s best writers speak to the power behind women’s voices in crime fiction, and how that voice changes the violence and challenges the failure of law. Join us for what is sure to be an enthralling talk, and stay for a drink and nibbles with the speakers following their discussion.
APRIL Wednesday 22 • 12.30pm - Finding the Bones by Natalie Conyer
And Natalie will be in attendance at April's book club!
