58. The Mastery of Mystery: Making a Great Whodunit
Sunday, June 4 | 11:45 AM - 1:00 PM- Literary
- Mystery, Crime & Thrillers
- Writing & Publishing
Wendy Hornsby, Ellen Kirschman, and Vidar Sundstol, moderated by Steve Hockensmith
Four established authors take the mystery out of writing mysteries, as they compare notes in a lively conversation spanning the globe. Whether inspired by real life (as Dr. Ellen Kirschman does with her amateur sleuth, a police psychologist who should be counseling cops, not solving crimes—Kirschman has been a police psychologist for 30 years!), folklore (as Vidar Sundstol does with his epic tales involving Nordic superstition), deeply-hidden family secrets, as Wendy Hornsby’s filmmaker sleuth uncovers, or humor, mixups, and disasters (as Steve Hockensmith is), these hard-boiled mystery writers will clue you in on what makes a suspenseful “whodunit?”
