Summary

Zibby interviews New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Mary Kubica about Just the Nicest Couple, a masterfully written and unputdownable thriller about a woman who is desperate to find her missing husband, and another couple who will do anything to stop that from happening. Mary describes her fascinating writing process, revealing her strategy for developing multiple narrators, and admitting she writes without a plan or knowledge of how things will end. She also shares what it was like to publish her first book after years of rejections, and how happy she is to be a part of the tight-knit community of thriller writers.
