Calling all historical crime fans! Pip Fioretti is visiting to talk about her second book in the Gus Hawkins Mystery series, Skull River. Using black humour, Fioretti weaves a story that’s both a cracking murder mystery and a razor-sharp portrayal of a country on the verge of transformation. With a professional background in visual arts, Pip will take us on a journey through photographs, paintings, and film stills that inspire her writing.

Includes drinks, nibbles, book sales, and signings.

BOOKINGS WILL OPEN AT 9AM ON TUESDAY 7 OCTOBER.
