Lethal Lit: A Tig Torres Mystery
(Einhorn’s Epic Productions and iHeart Radio, Podcast 2018)
Named one of “Five Great Podcasts From 2018” by The New York Times
The Lit Killer is back! Join teen detective Tig Torres as she returns to her small hometown of Hollow Falls, where her aunt was framed as a serial killer ten years earlier. With help from her new friends, Tig investigates the twisted mystery. But as she gets closer to the truth, the killings, each based on murder scenes from classic literature, begin all over again…with her as the final target.
Praise for Lethal Lit
“Call it nerd-pride noir… The writing is savvy, the nods to genre are droll and the cliffhangers – don’t go into the abandoned amusement park, Tig! – just about unbearable.”
–Alexis Soloski, The New York Times
“With a teen girl detective, Lethal Lit has echoes of Nancy Drew and Veronica Mars… Lethal Lit writers have brought a sense of what they love in other storytelling forms to the scripted podcast form, and they have done so in a way to make something fun and fresh.”
