The Ngaio Marsh Awards, in association with the New Zealand Book Council and Whanganui District Library, invites book lovers to an event featuring three talented New Zealand authors.
Crime writing has evolved from the puzzle-like mysteries of Agatha Christie and New Zealand's Dame Ngaio Marsh to modern novels delving deeply into people, places and psychology. It has continued to thrill readers throughout the decades.
Local poet, artist and novelist Christodoulos Moisa is an entrant in the 2018 Ngaio Marsh Awards.
Popularly called the Ngaios, these are literary awards presented annually in New Zealand to recognise excellence in crime fiction, mystery, and thriller writing.
Moisa will be joined by 2016 Ngaio Marsh Awards finalist Jen Shieff and young-adult thriller writer Antony Millen to discuss what draws them to storytelling, how they craft memorable characters and tales, and the impact of our New Zealand setting on their books.
