In reading it over I see how talking about that thing which supposedly bonds us-reading and writing psychological thrillers-is a secondary matter. I assembled the roundtable to talk about how we are going to talk about domestic suspense during a worldwide lockdown, but our conversation was much more freeform than that. I’m back, and this time we have a power panel of psychological suspense writers: sisters Lynne and Valerie Constantine, whose high-toned suspense novels have a splash of Judith Krantz (collectively they’re known by the pen name Liv Constantine) debut novelist Susie Yang the delightfully creepy Liz Nugent (to clarify: the books, not Liz, are delightfully creepy) rising star Samantha Downing and the juggernaut Ruth Ware, who is just as funny and quick as you’d want her to be (remember this when you read about how Agatha Christie wrote 12 novels during WWII without mentioning war once).
