If you like books and discovering new authors you will love our Mystery Night. Simply meet us at the appointed time and place and we’ll take care of the rest. Let us treat you to a night full of mystery tailored for a discerning book lover.

Meet us at 6.15pm sharp at a venue yet to be revealed. It will be within 5 minutes of our Queen Victoria Market shop. While you sit back in good company and unwrap your surprise, we will introduce you to the author of the book.

As you sip your drink, listen to the author do a reading, followed by a discussion on why they wrote it and why we think you will enjoy it. Towards the end of our soiree you will have the chance to chat to the author and have your book personally signed.

WHEN: 6.15 (for a 6.30 start) Tuesday 8th December

WHERE: Meet at Mary Martin Bookshop’s Queen Victoria Market Stall in String Bean Alley. We will take the group on a (very) short walk to the mystery location.

WHAT’S INCLUDED: A mystery book, a cosy venue, a glass of wine, a moderated author session with signing and wonderful company.

COST: $50
