KIRSTEN MCKENZIE - MYSTERY IN THE LIBRARY - TAKAPUNA

  • Takapuna Library 9 The Strand Auckland, Auckland, 0622 New Zealand (map)

The Ngaio Marsh Awards, in association with Auckland Libraries, invites booklovers to a thrilling event featuring five talented local storytellers.

As crime and thriller writing has evolved from puzzle-like mysteries to books delving deeply into psychology, people and places, it has continued to be one of the world’s most popular forms of storytelling. What draws us to darker tales?

Browns Bay debut author and former Auckland detective Cristian Kelly joins 2023 Ngaios finalists Fiona Sussman (also a past Ngaios winner) and Simon Lendrum, and past Ngaios Best Kids/YA finalist Eileen Merriman, bestselling author of new adult thriller THE NIGHT SHE FELL, for a criminally good conversation about crafting compelling storylines and memorable characters, and the impact of place and real-life themes. Bestselling author Kirsten McKenzie will keep the peace and prosecute the offenders.

WHEN: Wednesday 29 May 2024
WHERE: Takapuna Library, 9 The Strand
WHEN: 6pm for light refreshments, 6.30pm panel discussion
