Women of Mystery
Documentary (56 min.)

Blending documentary and dramatic styles, Women of Mystery delves into the world of the fictional female private eye, and follows authors Sue Grafton, Marcia Muller and Sara Paretsky as they conduct research for their novels and intimately share with us the process of writing about and living with their female heroes. With Sharon McCone, Kinsey Milihone and V.l. Warshawski, the female private eye entered the scene of detective fiction. Diving into the wilderness of the unknown, she saw what no one else had seen and told a new story. Women of Mysteryis the first film to celebrate three writers who started a literary revolution and, in the process, captured readers' imaginations all around the world. The result is one of the most candid and most visual films about writing and the intimate act of reading.
