Thea Dorn

Thea Dorn (pseudonym; Christiane Scherer, born 23 July 1970 in Offenbach am Main)[1] is a German writer of crime fiction and TV host.

Born in Offenbach am Main, Dorn was initially trained as a singer, and later studied philosophy and theatrical sciences in Frankfurt and Berlin.

[4] Thea Dorn's pseudonym alludes to Theodor Adorno, whose works she read and found hard to understand.

The same year she wrote the theatrical piece Marleni, a staged meeting of Marlene Dietrich and Leni Riefenstahl.

The next year, with the book Die Brut, she left the genre of crime fiction and concentrated on characterisations of the milieu.
