SUMMARY:Chapter meeting: Crime Craft (crime and sleuthing)
DESCRIPTION:This month’s CrimeCraft discussion will center on sleuths and sleuthing. Most (but not all) mysteries require some kind of sleuth to assemble information and clarify what happened. The sleuth can be a police officer\, private investigator\, lawyer\, reporter\, writer\, teacher\, librarian\, retiree—the list is endless. What makes a fictitious sleuth effective? Memorable? Unique? Loved or loathed? If you are a sleuth’s creator\, what did you consider when developing your character? Whom would you choose to portray your character on stage\, screen or television? Join the Zoom here. \nNote: CrimeCraft will resume in February and Spotlight meetings in March.

SUMMARY:Chapter meeting: Crime Craft\, Crime and the City
DESCRIPTION:It’s September\, time for a Crime Craft discussion. This month’s topic is Crime and the City. \nAll jokes aside about Cabot Cove\, Maine\, having the highest murder rate in America\, what makes The City—sprawling\, mid-size\, small—an ideal location for a story about crime? Is it the density? The greater variety in criminal possibilities? The presence of drugs\, gangs\, guns\, the skin trades\, businesses that might be crooked\, politicians\, higher education which may be shady\, trafficking of all kinds and endless potential victims? How does a city—small or large\, naked or shrouded in secrecy—become a character in a story? \nThe discussion begins Sept. 5 at 6 p.m. on Zoom.
