Gillian Flynn meets Greek Tragedy, minus the poisoned wine.
In Crime Fiction, both the audience and crime reporter Maddie are challenged to figure out what is real, what is manipulation and what is a half-truth as Maddie’s mystery writing group bands together to find out who is stalking their most famous member. Maddie may get it wrong along the way— more than once— but she boldly navigates the twists and turns the predator has laid down, even when things turn deadly.
