What an occasion: The #1 New York Times, USA Today, and Globe and Mail bestselling author, Louise Penny, joins the Vancouver Writers Fest for an intimate conversation with her good friend, and host of CBC’s The Next Chapter, Shelagh Rogers.

In Penny’s 18th book in her acclaimed series, A World of Curiosities, Armand Gamache and Jean-Guy Beauvoir come face-to-face with a chilling reappearance; resurfaced memories, buried for decades; and a long-hidden attic room, where they’ll discover puzzles within puzzles, and hidden messages warning of mayhem and revenge. This page-turner was named one of Washington Post’s best mysteries and thrillers of 2022, one of Barnes and Noble’s best books of 2022, and a number one pick by librarians across Canada.

The conversation will explore this latest work and Penny’s career to date — and celebrate Shelagh Rogers’ 15 year anniversary with The Next Chapter!

Books will be for sale at the event courtesy of Book Warehouse, a division of Black Bond Books—including books pre-signed by Louise Penny! There will be no signing line.
