Christoph Güsken

Christoph Güsken (born February 27, 1958 in Mönchengladbach ) is a German writer (humor thriller, children's book, detective radio plays).

After studying theology in Bonn and Münster , he initially worked as a bookseller. Güsken has been working as a freelance author since 1995 . Güsken mainly writes detective novels. His most famous works include the crime novels about the detective team Bernie Kittel and Henk Voss. At first they both work in Cologne, but later move to Münster. This relocation of the scene reflects Güsken's own life situation, because the Rhinelander Güsken has also moved his adopted home to Münster. His novels follow the laws of comedy rather than those of traditional crime fiction.
