Crime lovers, tonight’s the night!
We had a very exciting visitor pop in before the big event… our fabulous crime panel moderator @lauramccluskey__
We’re feeling pretty lucky to have her joining us (and not just because she knows her way around a good mystery). With her love of books, brilliant questions and passion for crime stories, we know she’s going to keep the conversation full of twists, turns and fascinating discoveries.
Now excuse us while we go make sure the crime scene (aka the stage) is ready…
See you tonight for an evening of clues, conversations and crime!

Author Talk: @sarahmclutton - Mornington Library Mornington Peninsula Libraries
Thursday, 30 July 2026 | 02:00 PM to 03:00 PM
Join author Sarah Clutton as she discusses her new mystery novel, The Bookshop of Buried Pasts.
Phyllida Banks is adored in the tiny village of Brookbank, nestled in the Southern Highlands outside Sydney. Admired for her curiosity and wisdom, her antiquarian bookshop is the hub of the community.
Step inside The Bookshop of Buried Pasts, an exhilarating tale of an abandoned boy and the woman who refused to forget him.
Ten`s go-to series is the Aaron Falk books by @janeharperauthor and for good reason.
Set against the striking backdrop of rural and regional Australia, this bestselling crime series follows Federal Police investigator Aaron Falk as he unravels complex mysteries where long-buried secrets, close-knit communities and the past collide.
Atmospheric, compelling and impossible to put down, it`s the perfect series for readers who love character-driven crime fiction with a distinctly Australian setting.

Ruby`s Web by Ellen Van Neerven
Ruby is already struggling to fit in at high school, when the school`s online communication platform blows up with a vicious racism messaging stream with her as the main target. Written by a strong Indigenous voice, this book explores racism, cyber-bullying and the power of a strong, if shaky, voice.

Forget Willy Wonka`s chocolate factory, this is our dream tour.
A few weeks ago, Suzie and Jacq visited the Penguin Random House distribution centre, and Jacq was kind enough to share some photos with us.
Scroll through to see row after row of books waiting to find their forever homes. We have just one question... do they notice if someone accidentally stays behind after closing? #askingforafriend

We are very disappointed to announce that Margaret Hickey will no longer be able to participate in our Crime Panel Event on Thursday night this week due to ill health. We know you all join us in wishing her a very speedy recovery and a wonderful launch next week of her new book, Cold River. It will be available in store from Monday - be sure to come grab your latest Sally White thriller.
But we are very happy to announce that another fabulous Melbourne crime writer has graciously stepped in to to help out at the last minute - we are excited to welcome Tanya Scott to discuss her 2025 debut, Stillwater, and tell us all about how she`s going with the crafting of her second novel. Tanya will be joining Mark Smith and Leah Swann in a panel discussion moderated by Laura McCluskey.
If you haven`t booked yet, we still have a handful of seats available for the event at The Studio at 91 Wilsons Rd at 6pm sharp on Thursday night - we look forward to seeing everyone there.

We were delighted to support last week`s Wheeler Centre Books and Ideas event at the stunning Port Phillip Estate. A personal and poignant conversation between Stan Grant and Jason Steger, from philosophy and theology to physics and how to navigate the modern world when words fail us.
Be sure to keep your eyes open for future events in this wonderful series.
