Going Places With Jeff Abbott, Lisa Unger, and Brian Panowich
The importance of location in mysteries can never be stressed enough.
Mysteries that give us a sense of place make that area be it a city, region or country a true character that effects the plot and the people who inhabit the story.
And that place can vary from author to author. Michael Connelly’s Los Angeles is different from Robert Crais and a different city than that of Denise Hamilton or Rachel Howzell Hall or Steph Cha. And these different visions make for more involving novels.
But sometimes it’s the location that is the constant as different characters inhabit the landscape.
