I liked today's book. And then I felt very weird that I liked it. Olivia Day, my guest who brought this confusing, twisty book into my life, is the co-host of the Thrillers by the Book Club pod. She is a long-time lover of thrillers, crime, and mystery stories, and a graduate of International Thriller Writer's Online Thriller School. Despite the grim thesis of the book we are discussing, Olivia and I had a lot of laughs as we discussed this book. And we drew a pretty effective through-line between the books that represent women's ultimate fantasies, whether they are sexual or, you know, murderous.

Adam Hamdy rejoins the Crew from the other side of the world to discuss THE OTHER SIDE OF NIGHT. Just as Adam left the comforts of home in England to explore a new land with his family in Mauritius, he left the confines of the conventional thriller to explore mind-bending new territory in the genre with a book unlike any other. “I couldn't stop thinking about the story's incredible twist…like no crime novel I've ever read.” —James Patterson For fans of Matt Haig and Anthony Horowitz, an “intriguing and thought-provoking” (Liv Constantine, author of The Last Mrs. Parrish) novel in which the lives of a disgraced police officer, a prolific author, and an upstanding citizen are inextricably bound together by a series of mysterious deaths. The Other Side of Night begins with a man named David Asha writing about his biggest regret: his sudden separation from his son, Elliot. In his grief, David tells a story. Next, we step into the life of Harriet Kealty, a police officer trying to clear her name after a lapse of judgment. She discovers a curious inscription in a secondhand book—a plea: Help me, he's trying to kill me. Who wrote this note? Who is “he”? This note leads Harri to David Asha, last seen stepping off a cliff. Police suspect he couldn't cope after his wife's sudden death. Still, why would this man jump and leave behind his young son? Quickly, Harri's attention zeroes in on a person she knows all too well. Ben Elmys: once the love of her life. A surrogate father to Elliot Asha and a trusted friend to the Ashas. Ben may also be a murderer. The Other Side of Night is a thought-provoking, moving “head-spinner of a novel” (John Connolly) with intriguing narratives and plot swerves that will leave you reeling. By the end, you'll be shaken as each piece slots satisfyingly into place. Adam Hamdy is a bestselling British author and screenwriter who works with studios and production companies on both sides of the Atlantic. Together with David Headley, Adam founded Capital Crime, one of the UK's largest literary festivals. He teaches creative writing in the UK and US and is on the board of the International Thriller Writers Organization. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Don't forget to subscribe to The Crew Reviews, hit the "LIKE" button, and leave a comment.

LIVE from the Westhampton Beach Performing Arts Center, we interview Lynne and Valerie Constantine, New York Times bestselling sister duo authors of The Last Mrs. Parrish and four other novels. ** After an introduction to Pop Fiction Women and Liv Constantine, we start at the beginning with their debut, The Last Mrs. Parrish, a December 2017 Reese Book Club pick. They share how they found out the big news and the difficulty in keeping that big secret. (03:37) ** Lynne and Val share how their latest novel, The Stranger In The Mirror, came to be after they both agreed to scrap the book they were working on and start anew from a kernel of an idea: amnesia. Sometimes killing your darlings really does work! (06:15) ** Addison Hope, the complicated protagonist of The Stranger In the Mirror, has no past, which adds layers of emotional dissonance and complexity to the character. (08:15) ** Addison is not the only complicated female character and point of view in the novel, we hear why Blythe turned out to be one of Lynn and Val's favorite characters. (11:42) ** While it's liberating and fun to write villains, we loved chatting with Lynne and Val about how they resist the urge to mitigate the bad acts of their protagonists and let them be who they really are. (14:58) ** What's your damage, Liv? We dig into the psychology of their characters and why they're interested in delving into weighty, dark topics in their novels. (17:28) ** Lynne and Val share their origin story and what made them decide to write together, which has us confessing THEIR unlikely role in OUR writing origin story. (19:41) ** We discuss how they collaborate together -- the brainstorming process and the logistics of two people writing a novel together. We also ask them to share their favorite part of writing and their least favorite part. It's clear they make a good combo. (24:25) ** There's a point in the novel when Addison thinks she may have been an exotic dancer in her previous life, so we just had to ask what profession they would each be delighted to find out they were doing in a previous life. (29:58) ** The research Lynne and Val did on trauma and amnesia for this novel uncovered some fascinating things that really blew us away. (31:11) ** Listen to hear our speed round of questions, The Newlywed Game style, to see how well these sisters know each other. (34:05) ** We talk about the complicated nature of family. (36:26) ** We talk astrology and how Addison is such a Gemini! (40:37) ** Lynne and Val share what they are loving right now in terms of books, movies and TV shows. (43:10) ** Since we're LIVE with an audience, you get to hear questions from those who came to watch us! (46:02) Follow us on Instagram and Facebook @popfictionwomen and on Twitter @pop_women.

I found Asha Sabbella on Instagram, where she keeps a lovely book review account. She also writes reviews on her blog, ashareads.com. When I asked her to choose her favorite book, she didn't hesitate to choose a twisty thriller with lots of devious characters and a satisfying payoff. We talked about thrillers, reading and writing with sisters, and the joy of reading books by Own Voices authors.

Liv Constantine "The Last Time I Saw You": The internationally bestselling author of The Last Mrs. Parrish follows that success with an addictive novel filled with shocking twists about the aftermath of a brutal high-society murder. Dr. Kate English has it all. Not only is she the heiress to a large fortune; she has a gorgeous husband and daughter, a high-flying career, and a beautiful home anyone would envy. But all that changes the night Kate's mother, Lily, is found dead, brutally murdered in her own home. Heartbroken and distraught, Kate reaches out to her estranged best friend, Blaire Barrington, who rushes to her side for the funeral, where the years of distance between them are forgotten in a moment. That evening, Kate's grief turns to horror when she receives an anonymous text: You think you're sad now, just wait. By the time I'm finished with you, you'll wish you had been buried today. More than ever, Kate needs her old friend's help. Once Blaire decides to take the investigation into her own hands, it becomes clear that all is not as it seems in Baltimore high society. As infidelity, lies, and betrayals come to light, and tensions rise to a boiling point, she begins to alienate Kate's friends and relatives with her relentless, accusatory questions, as she tries to find Lily's killer. The murderer could be anyone—friend, neighbor, loved one. But whoever it is, it's clear that Kate is next on their list. . . In The Last Time I Saw You, Liv Constantine takes the lightning pace of The Last Mrs. Parrish and raises the stakes, creating an exquisitely tension-filled and absorbing tale of psychological suspense in which innocent lives—and one woman's sanity—hang in the balance.
Amber Patterson is fed up. She's tired of being a nobody: a plain, invisible woman who blends into the background. She deserves more—a life of money and power like the one blond-haired, blue-eyed goddess Daphne Parrish takes for granted. Amber has a plan to infiltrate Daphne's life, which is only the beginning of a meticulous scheme to undermine her. Before long, Amber is Daphne's closest confidante, but a skeleton from her past may undermine everything that Amber has worked towards. Lynne Constantine and Valerie Constantine - the sisters behind Liv Constantine - talk to Helen about the shocking turns and dark secrets that will keep you guessing until the very end. The Last Mrs. Parrish is a fresh, juicy, and utterly addictive thriller from diabolically imaginative and talent sisters.
