Mysteries and Thrillers Through the Ages

Please join us for a talk by author Mark Rubinstein on how mysteries and thrillers have thrived through the ages. What are their defining characteristics? How do they differ from each other and why are they enjoyed by so many generations of readers? Did Shakespeare write thrillers? What about Hemingway and Dostoyevsky? Why have mysteries and thrillers endured for centuries? And why are today’s bestseller lists populated by so many of them? 

Wiltonian Mark Rubinstein's high-octane thrillers Mad Dog House and its sequel Mad Dog Justice were both finalists for the Foreward Book of the Year Award.  The Lovers' Tango won the gold medal in Popular Fiction at the Benjamin Franklin Awards.  He has been a contributor to the Huffington Post, was a contributor to Psychology Today, contributes columns to Literary Hub's Crime Reads, and is a book reviewer for the New York Journal of Books. www.markrubinstein-author.com
