Led to

What the speakers say drew on it, marked the same way.

Gillian Flynn: 1 line the maker said so ×1

  1. lineage (inspired her approach): Mystic River ⇒ Gillian Flynn (the maker said so). After failed attempts at novels, Flynn read Mystic River and took from it the idea of a crime that is a red herring for a character story.
    “She said she had many failed attempts and then read Dennis Lahain's Mystic River, which, in my opinion, is an incredible piece of writing.”

Sharp Objects (TV): 1 line the host's read ×1

  1. unmapped (template (crime as red herring)): Mystic River ⇒ Sharp Objects (TV) (the host's read). Sharp Objects and Dark Places are described as Flynn's attempts at the Mystic River-style crime-as-red-herring structure.
    “And so sharp objects and dark places are both kind of like attempts at that, right?”
