X648On this week's podcast episode, we feature a conversation between New York Times bestselling author Kimberly McCreight—author of Friends Like These—and her editor Jennifer Barth, Senior Vice President and Executive Editor at Harper.

Friends Like These is a relentlessly twisty literary thriller in which a desperate intervention brings together a group of college friends 10 years after graduation—a reunion marked by lies, betrayal, and murder.

Check out some of the rave reviews:

“A brilliantly constructed puzzle of a novel—using a shifting kaleidoscope of unique voices…” 
—Julie Clark, author of The Last Flight
 
"Kimberly McCreight takes us through a juicy labyrinth of lies and secrets among a privileged set of friends you’ll love to hate, and hate to love. Sharp, dark, and a great escape.”
—Ashley Audrain, author of The Push
 
Friends Like These is a masterclass in thriller writing. Perfectly plotted and full of genuine surprises, this book had me rapt from start to finish. Kimberly McCreight is a sensational writer, and with Friends Like These she is at the top of her game."
