Crime, Knitting Love, and Castle Atmosphere: Susanne Oswald at Castle Horst

With Susanne Oswald, an evening at Murder on the Hellweg arrives that unusually combines crime literature and the culture of handicrafts in an attractive way. In the outer bailey of Castle Horst, an atmosphere for readings develops that links intimacy, suspense, and literary entertainment: Cozy Crime meets a criminal knitting circle.

An Evening for Crime Fans and Knitting Enthusiasts

Oswald is known as a bestselling author and expert in knitting. This dual brushstroke shapes the evening: The audience experiences an author encounter where not only reading takes place, but also discussions about characters, threads, and narrative rhythm. Those who bring their own knitting projects dive even deeper into this literary experience.

Murderously Entangled: Suspense with a Gentle Surface

The focus is on the new case of the knitting crew, which this time encounters danger at sea and, amidst a journey through the Faroe Islands to Iceland, is confronted with a death on board. It is precisely this combination of Nordic expanses, cheerful tone, and a sharpening of criminal tension that makes the charm of the evening. Oswald's style thrives on warm characters, pointed suspense, and a genre that cleverly intertwines comfort and thrills.

Castle Horst as a Literary Resonance Space

The outer bailey of Castle Horst provides the perfect setting for this reading: historical, approachable, and culturally charged. The event fits ideally into the spaces of the Horst neighborhood library, which is located in the restored outer bailey and remains accessible. Thus, a place emerges where literature, architecture, and encounters intertwine.

Why It's Worth Attending

This evening promises not just a reading, but a shared experience of language, mood, and scene. Between stitches, murder, and sea, Susanne Oswald unfolds that blend of lightness and tension that makes her books so worth reading. Those who appreciate crime literature with heart and atmosphere should experience this event live.
