We’re about to be BAD in Bowral and we’re ‘Dying for Cake’. Come and join us at Keyton's Annesley Bowral Retirement Village in the Southern Highlands for morning tea and some criminally good discussions about crime writing.

Local writers Sarah Clutton, Sarah Hawthorn and Joan Sauers will open the conversation with Kate Horan in the chair on the topic of crime and place. ‘The Past is a Different Country’ or is it? After a short break, Joan Sauers, Greg Haddrick and Sue Turnbull will probe the ‘Dark Matters’ that underlie the stories behind true crime on television from Underbelly to the Mushroom Murders.

There will be sparkling wine (courtesy of Tulloch Wines), books to buy from the Bowral bookshop and a raffle.
