Whodunnit? That’s the question on everyone’s lips at the author dinner – along with good food, wine and conversation. Your table will be hosted by a leading crime writer who will lend their insight, experience and skill – or failing that, their best guess – to identify the perpetrator of the dastardly crime in the murder mystery that will be acted out for your delight, delectation and diversion. Knives, forks and sharp wits at the ready, let’s eat!

On Friday 21st, crack the case with:

Rachel Abbott, Amen Alonge, Jenny Blackhurst, Jo Callaghan, A.A. Chaudhuri, Mahi Cheshire, Alex Dahl, S.E. Lynes, D.L. Marshall, Simon Mason, Greg Mosse, Craig Robertson, Leigh Russell, William Shaw, Tracey Whitwell, Nicola Williams

Includes a welcome glass of wine, 2-course murder mystery dinner, teas and coffees, as well as a copy of your host’s latest book… plus a prize for the winning table!
