Ottawa Writers Fest Scene of the Crime with Uzma Jalaluddin and Nita Prose

Join us for a taste of two delightful and acclaimed Canadian mysteries - and a conversation on setting the perfect scene for a compelling crime and how best to keep us all guessing.

When her grown daughter is suspected of murder, a charming and tenacious widow digs into the case to unmask the real killer in Detective Aunty the twisty, page-turning whodunit—the first book in a cozy new detective series from Uzma Jalaluddin, the acclaimed author of Ayesha at Last.

A wedding. A heist. A secret. Molly Gray’s life is about to change in ways she could never have imagined. The Maid's Secret by Nita Prose continues where The Maid and The Mystery Guest left off. Molly, now the Head Maid & Special Events Manager of the Regency Grand Hotel, discovers that what she thought was an old trinket is actually a rare and coveted artifact worth millions. She and her friends find themselves at the center of the boldest art heist in recent memory.
