The Ngaio Marsh Awards, in association with Christchurch City Libraries, invite booklovers to a thrilling afternoon of criminally good conversation with five talented Kiwi storytellers.

Crime writing has evolved from the puzzle-like mysteries of Agatha Christie and Canterbury's own Dame Ngaio Marsh to modern novels delving deeply into people, places, and psychology. It has continued to be one of the world’s most popular form of storytelling, for adults and kids alike.
2025 Ngaio Marsh Award for Best First Novel winner Wendy Parkins will chair Michael Gifkins Prize winner Jeffrey Buchanan, past Ngaios finalist Marie Connolly, middle grade mystery writer Rachael King, and genre-blending thriller author Judy Mohr in a korero about what inspires them as writers, and how they create memorable characters and page-turning stories.
WHEN: Sunday, 31 May 2025
WHERE: Tūranga Library, 60 Cathedral Square, Christchurch 8011
WHEN: 2pm panel discussion
