Witches & Dicks
There’s something a bit supernatural to detectives and there’s a bit of the private d*ck in a witch. Veronica Mars removes hexes. Willow Rosenberg solves crimes. Join pals Evelyn Archer and Lucy Neptune as they plunge into these mysterious waters and have a chinwag about Witches, Murder Mysteries, Private Detectives (and sometimes people who are actual d***s). Lucy is a tenacious puzzle solver, and Evelyn has watched enough Murder She Wrote to start her own detective agency. So join us for a cackling good time as we explore the places where Mysteries Collide.
