About
Are you the kind of reader who can’t resist solving the mystery before the final page? Then this is the event for you. From cryptic riddles to choose-your-own-adventure clues, Max Nightingale (a.k.a Jonathan Whitelaw) and Bianca Marais reinvent the crime novel by handing the magnifying glass to the reader. In Murder in Tinseltown, Nightingale invites readers into a glittering, deadly Hollywood noir – you’ll need your sharpest instincts (and maybe a fedora) to catch a killer. In A Most Puzzling Murder, Marais whisks you off to a stormy island mansion and spins a gothic mystery full of strange visions, secret passageways, and ciphers waiting to be cracked. Together, they’ll discuss puzzle-making and plot twists, the how of the whodunit, and how readers make the best detectives.

Can your sleuthing skills help identify the murderer of a Hollywood starlet?
Los Angeles, 1958. The biggest, brightest and best names in Hollywood have gathered at the Royale Premiere Hotel on the eve of the biggest awards show of the year. Things take a devilish turn when leading lady Blanche Aikerman is found murdered in her room. With a list of suspects as long as Aikerman’s accolades and credits, YOU are thrust into the action and must fully immerse yourself in the role of an LAPD homicide detective on the scene to hunt, capture and correctly charge the culprit. Blending all the fun and appeal of the traditional hard-boiled detective story with a classic choose-your-own-story model, the book throws you right into the thick of the action.Dates & Times
