Wardini Books is an independent bookshop with a touch of magic. It’s also the home of The Bookshop Detectives, a series of bestselling cosy crime novels published by Penguin New Zealand and penned by Gareth Ward and Louise Ward. Run by Louise, (10 years experience teaching at primary and intermediate) and Gareth Ward, a.k.a. The Great Wardini (children’s entertainer, magician and hypnotist), you’ll find your visit to Wardini Books an experience to remember. Browse, chat, and let us inspire your reading choices. The Havelock North team are Catt, Amy, Phill and Pia and their depth and range of knowledge makes it a sure thing that you’ll find your dream read within our walls. Rachel, Adele, Rowan and Emma reside over the border at Wardini Books Napier but we’re a flexible lot and you may see any of us either side of the Ngaruroro. We have a fantastic selection of titles, and it’s our pleasure to give advice and make recommendations. We go the extra mile to source books that are difficult to find and are particularly adept at locating ‘the one reviewed on RNZ? I think it has a red cover.’
