A Capital Mystery Volume 2 – Book Launch
About this Event
Ottawa has a darker side—at least on page.
This September, some of the capital region’s mystery and crime writers are gathering at Métropolitain Brasserie to celebrate the launch of A Capital Mystery Volume 2—a brand-new collection of 23 crime and mystery stories set in and around Canada’s capital.
Familiar streets. Iconic landmarks. Quiet neighbourhoods. Places you may pass every day.
In the hands of a mystery writer, they become something else entirely.
Join us for an evening of mystery, storytelling and literary mischief as we celebrate the newest chapter of A Capital Mystery and the local writers behind it.
🔎 An evening for mystery lovers
Meet participating authors from A Capital Mystery Volume 2, hear selected readings from the collection, discover the inspiration behind the stories, and mingle with fellow readers and members of Ottawa’s literary community.
Copies of A Capital Mystery Volume 2 will be available, with an opportunity to meet the writers and have your copy signed.
Whether you devour crime fiction, love discovering local authors, or simply want to see Ottawa through a decidedly more sinister lens, this is your invitation into the mystery.
📚 About A Capital Mystery Volume 2
Following A Capital Mystery, Volume 2 brings together 23 original crime and mystery stories, all set in the Ottawa area.
The series celebrates local storytelling while transforming Canada's capital into something more than a setting. Ottawa becomes part of the mystery itself—a city of secrets, motives, unexpected encounters and, naturally, the occasional fictional M**der.
The A Capital Mystery series has earned praise from acclaimed mystery writers, including internationally bestselling author Louise Penny.
