You’ve described this novel as a “twist on the locked-room mystery.” What appealed to you About that type of mystery, and how did you reimagine it for The Unmasking?
Many mysteries are set in isolated places where all the characters––including the suspects and the perpetrator(s)––are stuck together. As in the Gothic novel, there’s only one way in and one way out. In the locked-room mystery, someone is killed inside a room, and it isn’t apparent how the murderer got in, did the deed, and exited. Agatha Christie was a master of this kind of claustrophobic setting, which has always intrigued me as a novelist as the stakes steadily rise.
