Tom Rob Smith seems like a nice enough guy, but many of his works are about grisly murders. His newest project is \u2018The Assassination of Gianni Versace,\u2019 FX\u2019s second entry in its American Crime Story anthology. The series examines the murder of the fashion icon, and looks at the lives of the other men who died at the hand of killer Andrew Cunanan. Smith tells us why writing about murder is a useful way of exploring a society.
