Hamptons Whodunit Savannah 2026

Hamptons Whodunit is coming to historic Savannah with special rates at participating hotels!

From November 6 through November 8, Hamptons Whodunit brings readers, writers, investigators, forensic specialists, and podcast hosts together for an incredible weekend of mystery and true crime.

Dive deep into the minds of those who craft and solve the most compelling cases, both on the page and in real life. That is the Hamptons Whodunit experience.

A unique boutique book festival, we gather a fascinating lineup of bestselling mystery & thriller fiction authors and renowned true crime experts - investigators, forensic scientists, legal experts, and members of law enforcement.

We offer panels, book signings, publisher teas, happy hours, and interactive mystery-themed dinners, workshops, and forensic challenges. Meet and mingle with our featured guests at intimate events and enjoy an unforgettable weekend with friends, family, or on your own.

Panel passes include fiction and true-crime panels, Guest of Honor conversations, and Coffee & Crime.

Wine & Crime, Trivia Night, Sunday Brunch, and our true-crime workshops are ticketed separately.

Thanks to a partnership with Tribute Portfolio, part of Marriott Bonvoy, our exciting weekend will be hosted by the Alida Savannah, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel, and Hotel Orielle, an Autograph Collection Hotel. Hotel group rates for Hamptons Whodunit Savannah ticket holders are available on our website.

A few things are open to everyone, no pass or ticket required: the mock crime-scene challenge (sign up during festival check-in), author book signings, and Friday and Saturday evening Happy Hours, where drinks and food are on your own tab.

Note: Schedule is subject to change.
