Cocktails and Crime: Dead to Writes
Tickets £24.99
Celebrated mystery writer Athene Olivier is launching her first novel in over a decade at Nottingham’s Shire Hall. Drinks are flowing as the guests eagerly await a special reading from the author herself when a body is discovered.
Key suspects include Mrs Olivier’s special guests. Do you have the wits to take this 1950s’ whodunnit from page to proven guilty?
Play detectives, interview the suspects and find the clues to catch the culprit.

Please note that this is a repeat theme from February 2024.
