It started with Paula Hawkins THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN, then Mary Kubica's THE GOOD GIRL, Peter Swanson's THE KIND WORTH KILLING, A.S.A Harrison's THE SILENT WIFE. Until then, I'd never read domestic suspense/psychological thrillers before but the genre enthralled me. I loved how the unlikable characters operated in these novels, the twisted and twisty bad choices. So on April 1, 2016 I started writing my own novel.
