Friends & Fiction with Christina Baker Kline & Anne Burt
On this episode, Patti Callahan Henry & Kristin Harmel welcome #1 New York Times bestselling author Christina Baker Kline and award-winning author Anne Burt to discuss their stylish, twisty thriller, Please Don’t Lie in which a young woman heads to the Adirondacks with her new husband for a fresh start—but the past won't let her go. Christina is the bestselling author of eight novels, including The Exiles, Orphan Train, and A Piece of the World. She is the recipient of the New England Society prize for fiction, the Maine Literary Award, and a Barnes & Noble Discover Prize. She has also written and edited five nonfiction books. Anne is a nonfiction writer and editor whose debut novel, The Dig, was an Indie Next pick and their lead "Thrills & Chills" reading group title for Summer 2024. Together they have co-written Please Don’t Lie (coming September 1st) which has been praised as “twisty-turny” and “riveting” by Lisa Scottoline, "psychologically rich and bone chilling” by Megan Abbott, and “unsettling, atmospheric, and propulsive” by Mary Kubica. We are excited to talk to both of them about their first thriller!
