Obviously, that didn't pan out.The program is a who's who of crime writing royalty: the debut writer (me!)the forensic science writerthe blockbuster writerthe legal thriller writerthe literary writerthe psychological suspense writerBut when one of us is murdered, the remaining authors quickly turn into five detectives. Together, we should know how to solve a crime.Of course, we should also know how to commit one.How can you find a killer when all the suspects know how to get away with murder?
