Michelle Ford is joined by internationally bestselling thriller writer Linwood Barclay to discuss his gripping new novel, Not a Word.
When Reece visits his parents’ home, he makes a horrifying discovery: his father is dead and the woman beside him is not his mother. What initially appears to be a murder-suicide soon raises troubling questions and Reece is drawn into a dangerous web of family secrets connected to his father’s former employer.
Linwood talks about creating the twists, tension and ordinary people facing extraordinary circumstances that have become hallmarks of his writing. He also reveals how growing up watching television in the 1970s helped shape his instinct for storytelling and how his years working as a journalist taught him to edit tightly, tell the story and keep readers hooked.
The conversation also turns to Stephen King: from receiving every thriller writer’s dream endorsement to the genuine friendship that has developed between the two bestselling authors.
