The case? A night to remember.

The scene? The shadows of the hotel’s historic Grand Ballroom.

Your mission? Savor a delectable 3-course dinner in the company of mystery authors, each hosting their own table and ready to share stories, secrets… and a red herring or two.

This flagship Ashland Mystery Festival event is a celebration of intrigue, storytelling, and the literary minds who bring them to life. As the night unfolds, enjoy a special group reading of an original whodunit written collaboratively by featured authors and you! Costumes encouraged — channel your inner sleuth, detective, or femme fatale.

3-course dinner presented by the award-winning LARKS Restaurant
Meet & mingle with mystery authors
Live “Build-A-Story” finale crafted by festival authors and you

Put on your trench coat, sharpen your wits, and join us for a night where every bite — and every clue — counts.
