Coffee & Crime
Description
After a string of sold-out Crime with Wine events in Perth, the team from Books in the Brewery is coming to Mount Barker for a caffeinated version of their fan-favourite panel.
Come, sit, sip your coffee, and be entertained by three of WA’s brightest talents. This isn't a typical library event; it’s a casual morning for people who love a good page-turner. Our guest authors will discuss their latest books and dive into all things crime, from their favourite fictional detectives and must-watch TV mysteries to the "real-life" inspirations behind their most devious plots.
Complimentary coffee, tea and light refreshments. Free entry. Bookings essential.
Lineup
Louise Wolhuter
Winner of the 2025 WA Premier’s Fiction Book of the Year for her hauntingly beautiful psychological mysteries, Shadows of Winter Robins and An Afterlife for Rosemary Lamb.
Kate Emery
WA Premier’s Book Award winner and author of the sharp, witty mysteries A Murder is Going Down and My Family and Other Suspects.
Alexander Thorpe
WA Premier’s Award-shortlisted author of the Mendicant Monk mysteries, "cosy historical crime" novels set right here in WA.
Agenda
What To Expect
A relaxed chat about the "art of a good yarn." Why do we love a mystery? How do you weave the rugged WA landscape into a crime scene? And do ideas come from real life, or just too much late-night TV? This is also your chance to join the conversation. Ask about their creative process, their favourite local haunts, or even the best way to murder someone (strictly in a fictional sense, of course). You may also enjoy short, atmospheric readings as the authors share a few of their favourite moments from crime fiction. We'll have a range of books from our guests available to buy (card or bank transfer only) or bring your own from home to be signed.
