Manon Wogahn (aka @mysterymanon) is a bookish content creator with a love for fictional crime. She edits the Cluesletter, the email newsletter for mystery lovers, and works for AuthorImprints, a self-publishing services company. Manon credits her art history degree for her obsessions with beautiful books and the Chicago Manual of Style. As for the mystery obsession, she can only blame Trixie Belden, Nancy Drew, and her own nosy inclinations.
