Ep 24: The Corpse on the Floor
Manage episode 312504844 series 3236939
Murder comes in many flavours, and so does the murder mystery. In this episode, we talk about the various ingredients that go into making a successful mystery story - and we pick up one such Indian experiment that follows the template but breaks new ground. And then, we pick up a classic of the genre and talk about its sly self-referential nature.
This is episode #24 of Bookasur, talking about Dashiell Hammett, Carrie, pedicures, a set of headphones that’s about to give up the ghost, and plans for a season finale.
