HOW WELL DO YOU KNOW YOUR FICTIONAL FEMME FATALES?

It’s time to brush up on your Agatha Christies, flip through your Ngaio Marshes and re-read your Jane Harpers.

Join five sisters in crime from New Zealand, Queensland, NSW, Victoria and Tasmania for fast and furious rounds of trivia exploring the who, what, when, where and why of women crime writers.

Topics include crime and mystery fiction, non-fiction, podcasts, movies and TV series written by women, and the women themselves. Categories include Golden Age, Controversies, International, Awards, Australia and Tasmania.

Everyone is invited.

Your evening will feature prime suspects:

• VANDA SYMON, transTasman rapier of wit, author of the Sam Shephard series and President of the New Zealand Society of Authors;

• ANGELA MEYER, a cutting editor wielding a Bowie knife, this international award-winning writer of A Superior Spectre and Moon Sugar is also an RMIT lecturer in postgraduate creative fiction;

• POPPY GEE, tea cake ninja and Tasmanian native, this internationally successful author of Bay of Fires and Vanishing Falls now hails from Queensland; and

• their host, L.J.M. OWEN, a Tasmanian devil of dubious renown, author of the atmospheric The Great Divide and Convenor of the Tasmanian Chapter of Sisters in Crime Australia.

$20 per person, including GST. The bar and a limited menu will be available to purchase food and drinks.
