Digital Doggie Bag: Lisa Jewell

Lisa Jewell is queen of the "jolly girl thriller writers" - one of those lovely, warm people you'd never expect to write dark, twisty characters. As we learned during our delightful Nov. 1 afternoon conversation with Lisa from her bedroom in Hampstead, England, her ability to keep us turning pages is more instinct than strategy; her curiosity leads her to write as if she were her own reader; and her talent for following her characters and stories as they unfold is what has kept us breathless for decades. A #1 New York Times Bestseller with 18 books that have sold 4.5 million copies internationally and translated into 25 languages - she's doing something right! We raise our coffee mugs in salute to Lisa Jewell's killer instincts: may they keep us hooked on her every chapter again and again.
