Mastery of Mystery

Four established authors take the mystery out of writing mysteries. Whether inspired by real life (like Dr. Ellen Kirschman), folklore (like Vidar Sundstol with his epic tales involving Nordic superstition), deeply-hidden family secrets, (like Wendy Hornsby's filmmaker sleuth uncovers), or humor, mixups, and disasters (see: Steve Hockensmith), these hard-boiled mystery writers will clue you in on what makes a suspenseful "whodunit?"
