On this episode, Ron Block & Mary Kay Andrews welcome USA Today bestselling author Jesse Q. Sutanto to discuss her new claustrophobic psychological suspense novel Read Between the Lies in which the line between victim and villain blurs with every chapter. Because in the end, everyone has their own version of the truth--but only one will make it onto the page.
Jesse is the Edgar Award-winning, USA Today bestselling author of Dial A for Aunties, The Obsession, Theo Tan and the Fox Spirit, Vera Wong's Unsolicited Advice for Murderers, and Well, That Was Unexpected. The film rights to Dial A for Aunties were acquired by Netflix in a competitive bidding war, while the TV rights to Vera Wong were bought by Warner Bros. with Oprah Winfrey and Mindy Kaling attached to produce. Sutanto holds a master's degree in creative writing from the University of Oxford and lives in Indonesia with her husband, two daughters, and a ridiculously large extended family. She joins us to discuss her new novel Read Between the Lies which Mindy Kaling describes as “a dark, delicious takedown of cancel culture and the publishing industry.”
