About

What makes the opening of a thriller impossible to put down?

CrimeBits brings together 100 compelling first pages from thriller writing, selected and judged by bestselling crime author Lee Child, and turns them into an interactive celebration of mystery storytelling. Each selection connects with puzzles and brain-teasers—including crosswords, word searches, and logic challenges—while writing exercises, crime trivia, editorial commentary, and Child's introduction offer insight into the craft of creating a gripping opening. With puzzles created by L.A. Times puzzle setter Robin Stears and an afterword by crime writer Luca Veste, this inventive collection offers plenty to challenge both mystery readers and aspiring writers.

Also contains an afterword by Black Spring Crime editor and bestselling author, Luca Veste.
