Past event

Maybe Australia’s convict past is to blame, but we can’t seem to get enough of crime fiction – we love reading it and we’re really good at writing it. Join us for a night of whodunnits, unexpected twists and vignettes from the seedy, sometimes inscrutable underbelly of the human psyche. And drinks!

Make like CSI and enhance your Monday with this criminally talented clutch of writers from both sides of the law: Emma Viskic, J.M. Green, Anna Snoekstra and Laura Woollett.
