As part of their Sherlock Holmes/Mystery Unit, LAMS students had the opportunity to meet New Mexico mystery authors Carol Potenza and Erin Krueger. Potenza & Krueger are two of the four authors of Demystifying the Beats: How to Write a Killer Book. The two authors led students in developing their own mystery stories, including the creation of sleuth protagonists and settings.
