THE BREAKFAST BOOK CLUB: COFFEE, CROISSANTS AND CRIME

Join us at Market Espresso in String Bean Alley (Just opposite our Queen Vic Market store) at 8.30am on Saturday April 26th for The Breakfast Book Club, a relaxed meet up where we chat about the latest crime novels over breakfast.

This month, we will be discussing Gareth and Louise Ward’s very aptly titled cosy-crime novel, The Bookshop Detectives: Tea and Cake and Death. The book is released at the start of April, but you are welcome to register now and pick the book up when it comes out.

If you would like the chance to meet Gareth and Louise ahead of the book club, come along on Thursday 27th March to the Penguin Noir Tour 2025 which Mary Martin is proud to be hosting at the City of Melbourne Bowls Club.

REGISTRATION: $5 or FREE with the purchase of a copy of the book.

Includes traders discount courtesy of Market Espresso and a moderated bookclub

HOW TO BOOK: Book a spot in person at any of our stores. Book online via the link below. The online booking fee of $5 can be redeemed against the price of the book next time you’re in store.
