🎯 Where Should I Start?
ⓘ About Johana Gustawsson
While her dad is a big fan of detective novels, with a preference for Simenon and Exbraya, it was actually her mom that introduced her to the genre. The Nice writer Nicole Ciravegna assured her that reading Agatha Christie’s prose would be excellent training for beginning readers. Her mom gave her “The Mysterious Affair of Styles” when she was just seven years old, and fell madly in love with a certain mustached man with an egg-shaped head. The pleasure of reading them made her want to “tease with the pen”, as her grandpa said. Starting out as a journalist for the magazine press, led her to write actress Laetitia Milot’s biography. Johana writes as much as she can, as often as possible; even while she’s on vacation, much to her husband’s chagrin and her friends and family’s, too.
