Description
Two authors reinvent the murder mystery, from reality TV romance and a snowbound airport to the shadowy streets of Edwardian London.
In L.M. Chilton’s darkly comic I Think We Should Kill Other People, a former reality TV couple, a wealthy family and a killer are stranded together in a snowstorm. Arvind Ethan David’s The Great Game follows Balvinder “Bunny” Singh and gentleman thief AJ Raffles into a murder investigation involving Scotland Yard, empire and Sherlock Holmes.
Join them for a lively conversation about crime, comedy and mysteries with a twist.
Followed by a book signing.
