Summary

Alex Michaelides has a new mystery out, and I had such a great time geeking out with him about Agatha Christie and other literary inspirations of his, including the great Ruth Rendell.

You can purchase Alex's new book, The Fury, in the United States here. And you can pre-order it in the UK (it's out February 1st) here.

You can purchase my new book, The Busy Body, in the United States here, the United Kingdom here, and Australia/New Zealand here.

For details on my upcoming book tour, visit my website here.
