The Killer Women Podcast: Bestselling suspense author Danielle Girard hosts conversations with the women who create crime fiction’s darkest and most nuanced characters. How do these women balance real life, of providing primary care in their homes and communities— as mothers, wives, sisters and daughters, while simultaneously living for months, or years, inside the heads of dark villains, entangling protagonists in harrowing circumstances, and giving readers not just a great story but an honest portrayal of what each of us is capable of when pushed to her limit..?
Hannah Morrissey and Elle Cosimano team up in HOME FOR THE HOMICIDES
Elle Cosimano is a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, an International Thriller Writers Award winner, and an Edgar Award nominee. Elle’s debut novel for adults, Finlay Donovan Is Killing It, kicked off a witty, fast-paced contemporary mystery series, which was a People magazine pick and was named one of New York Public Library's Best Books of 2021. The third book in the series, Finlay Donovan Jumps the Gun, was an instant New York Times bestseller. A TV show based on the series is now in development by Tina Fey and Lang Fisher for Peacock. In addition to writing novels for teens and adults, her essays have appeared in HuffPost and Time. Cosimano lives with her husband and two sons in Virginia.
Hannah Morrissey is the USA Today bestselling author of the Black Harbor suspense series and other gripping works of crime fiction. Praised for their hauntingly atmospheric settings and gritty Midwestern realism, her novels have helped define a distinct subgenre: Midwestern Noir. A graduate of the University of Wisconsin–Madison, where she studied English and Creative Writing, Hannah lives near Milwaukee with her husband and a grumble of pugs.
