Claire Douglas on The New Neighbours: Crafting Tense, Compelling Crime Fiction
Description
Welcome back to another episode and today’s we’re lucky enough to get to chat to Claire Douglas about her latest thriller, The New Neighbours. This was my first of read of Claire’s and I loved it so much I went straight back to the beginning and read her debut which was another winner for me. I can’t wait to read more.
In this episode we chat about the inspiration behind The New Neighbours and we managed to keep it completely spoiler free! We discover the inspiration behind the story and find out whether Claire is as brave as her characters (I know I’m not). Of course as always we chat about the five books that have shaped Claire’s life (let’s gloss over the fact she picked the entire Famous Five series).
Here are Claire’s choices.
The Famous Five by Enid Bylton
Rachel's Holiday by Marian Keyes
The Moving Finger by Agatha Christie
The Secret History by Donna Tartt
Also mentioned in this episode:
We Are Completely Beside Ourselves
I Let You Go by Clare MacIntosh
Gentleman & Players by Joanne Harris
Since recording I have now read and loved Rachel’s Holiday I only needed three bestselling authors to convince me!
