Author Talk with Margaret Hickey
About this Event
Join us at the library for an evening with award‑winning author Margaret Hickey, in conversation with the Library's Hayley Martell, as she discusses her gripping new crime novel Cold River, a thrilling follow‑up to her Ned Kelly Award–winning bestseller The Creeper. Set in Victoria’s rugged high country, the story follows Detective Constable Sally White as she investigates the mysterious disappearance of a young man—only to uncover links to an earlier case and a dangerous web of secrets hidden deep in the mountains. As the search unfolds, the question remains: are these tragic accidents, or something far more sinister?
Margaret Hickey will share insights into her writing process, the inspiration behind her latest novel, and her fascination with rural communities and landscapes.
Margaret is an acclaimed Australian author and playwright, with six crime novels and a collection of short stories to her name. Her work has received wide recognition, including the 2025 Ned Kelly Award for Best Crime Fiction for The Creeper.
Don’t miss this compelling author talk—perfect for fans of atmospheric crime fiction and page‑turning mysteries.
