Ask A Mystery Novelist


Listen Later

Writing a book can be hard. Add in the twists and turns of a mystery... Where to even start?!

Three authors join us today to help us cozy up to confusing capers. In the latest edition of our "Ask A" series, we're asking mystery novelists about how they mystify and confound amateur sleuths and gumshoes the world over.

From the red herrings to the smoking guns, how do they craft their whodunits?
