Talking Murder: Interviews With 20 Mystery Writers

Rating:
Summary: Compelling
Review: Silet has conducted compelling interviews with crime authors for "Armchair Detective" and "Mystery Scene" magazines for a number of years. In fact, many of the 20 interviews in this volume originally appeared in shorter or slightly altered form in those two publications. Each interview is headed by a short biography and overview of the author's work. Silet delves deeply into sources, writing habits and stylistic effects to gleen interesting and fresh new insights into the works of several authors who have received broad, intense public exposure. A good book by a gifted interviewer.
