Save the date: Murder in the Library

Do you like crime fiction and live near Auckland? Well then keep the evening of Wednesday 6 May free as there will be a great event happening at Takapuna Library, featuring three terrific local authors.

Ben Atkins (DROWNING CITY) and Dinah Holman (A HISTORY OF CRIME: THE SOUTHERN DOUBLE CROSS) have both been longlisted for the 2015 Ngaio Marsh Award. Ben, an Auckland University student, and Dinah, a heritage planning consultant, will be joined on a panel by #1 bestselling New Zealand crime writer Ben Sanders, whose upcoming thriller, AMERICAN BLOOD, has been optioned by Warner Bros to be made into a film starring Oscar-nominated Bradley Cooper.

These three North Shore writers will be talking about their books, crime writing and social commentary, delving into history, what it's like being an author in New Zealand, and much more.

More details will follow soon, including about other Murder in the Library events elsewhere around the country (and even in Europe). But for now, if you're near Auckland, save the date for this one!

Questions and comments welcome.
