The first Hamptons Mystery and Crime Festival (dubbed "Hamptons Whodunit") will take place Thursday-Sunday, April 13-16, in East Hampton Village, N.Y.
The festival will feature thriller and mystery authors as well as journalists and true crime and legal experts. Panels address such topics as neo-noir, how to craft complex characters, editors who become crime writers, crime fiction through a Latinx lens, adapting books to TV and film, organized crime, and more. There're also escape rooms, a crime scene enactment challenge and a tour of the Hamptons' most notorious crime sites.
Authors Alafair Burke and A.J. Finn are the honorary co-chairs, and Michael Connelly, Lisa Jewell, Casey Sherman and Anthony Horowitz are guests of honor. Festival co-founders are Carrie Doyle, Jackie Dunphy, Mayor Jerry Larsen and Lisa Larsen.
