December's hybrid meeting--IN PERSON at the **Boulder Library Main Branch second floor Flatirons Meeting Room** & ONLINE (see link when you register)--is *We Solve Murders* by Richard Osman (UK, 2024) on Sunday starting at 2:30 pm (for 2 hours).

Best-selling British author Richard Osman kicks off a new murder mystery series by introducing us to Amy Wheeler—a hard-knuckled private bodyguard for Maximum Impact Solutions, the famous author she's protecting, her retired police officer father-in-law turned private detective, and the enigmatic character behind a series of murders, François Loubet. Snappy dialogue, good food, international travel, hijinks and other perilous situations abound for our lovable band of sleuths as they figure out who the killer really is.

We are Writers Who Read. We use Literary Forensics to dissect a recent novel (published within the past 18 months) with the goal of uncovering how the author has utilized their skills for effect. Storytelling is an art, but it's not a mystery. Every writer must address the following:

* Structure, Timeline, Pacing, Suspense, Omission
* Point of View, including Voice, Character, Place
* Language, Tense, Imagery, Metaphor, Symbols
* Motivation: Making a story pop - generating a thrill
* Why this story? And why now? Industry considerations

We ask that all attendees read the entire book in advance of the meeting, and come bearing their discoveries of how the author has addressed each of the five points above.
