Festival session
Marlborough Man
12-1pm, Sunday 8 July, Hunter's Wines, Rapaura Road, $30 - Alan Carter in conversation with Tessa Nicolson
There's been a murder in the Wakamarina and Alan Carter has the inside scoop. His fast-paced thriller Marlborough Man is packed with landmarks and characters instantly recognisable to local readers. It's not often you read a book that challenges your sensibilities about where you live as this page-turner does.
Tessa, a one-time crime reporter, is looking forward to questioning Alan's motives. She's sure to dig up some dirt in a session for those who love to read crime and those who want to write it.
