Sisters in Crime Los Angeles is proud to present a free-wheeling, no-holds-barred panel called Stop! You're Killing Me, with four of the hottest mystery ladies in town: Harley Jane Kozak with her new book Dead Ex; Sue Ann Jaffarian and her latest book, The Curse of the Holy Pail; Patricia Smiley with her newly released book, Short Change, and Kathryn Lilley with her new book, Dying to be Thin. The panel will discuss how they balance laughter and suspense without going over the top in the humor department, where they get the ideas for the quirky characters that populate their novels, and how a strong subplot featuring their sleuth's personal life plays along with solving a crime.
