On Monday we return to the Kāpiti Coast with the new novels by Jenny Pattrick (Paekākāriki after a tsunami) and Jennifer Trevelyan (a summer holiday in the 1980s) - this should be a wonderful conversation between a first time novelist and an old hand. www.tepapa.govt.nz/visit/events...

Thank you to Karori Library, Marsden Books and the Ngaio Marsh Awards for a great event last Thursday - my first! So excited to be part of the 2025 #mysteryinthelibrary season alongside Dame Fiona Kidman, Claire Baylis, David White, and Brannavan Gnanalingam. 🤗
