  • Abby is a wonderful host!

    I’ve followed Abby on social media for a few years now and have become a huge fan of hers. She’s very passionate in her work. I also had the chance to meet her at a Riley Sager book event and she was super friendly and a genuinely great person. I highly recommending giving her podcast a listen because it’s amazing!

  • Like a conversation with friends

    I recently discovered Crime By The Book on Instagram, which led me to the podcast. I just finished the Riley Sager episode and it was so much fun. I loved the book recommendations and hearing Riley describe his writing process. Like so many others, Nancy Drew and Agatha Christie were my gateway to Mystery/Crime fiction. Life got busy and for many reasons I haven’t read as much for pleasure in the past few years. I’m discovering so many new authors and reading up a storm thanks to Abby. ... more

  • Innocent by John Grisham

    Great podcast! At the end J.Grisham talked about a group he sits on the Board of Directors where they work on cases to release wrongfully convicted prisoners. It takes about $300k to release one person so I thought one way to create this kind of money would be to have a TV series on about the 300+ cases especially on ones where the real criminals is caught. Have John open each program and call it John Grisham on True Stories of the Innocent or sale them to a current program like “Cold Case Files... more

  • John Grisham podcast

    I really enjoyed the John Grisham episode, I have read every one of his books and I am about to read boys from Biloxi. I wish Abby top less about herself and had more of John Grisham’s background and family. I would be interested in some podcast on what led to each book, especially his most successful books.

    I would like to hear a podcast on how to contact authors, publishing companies, etc. on possible storyline ideas. I personally am not a book writer, however, I have a few ideas that might ... more

  • The Crime Fiction Podcast I’ve Been Waiting For

    I’ve followed Abby’s Crime By The Book Instagram account forever and I could not wait to listen to this podcast. Abby’s enthusiasm for the genre is unmatched and utterly infectious. She’s had some AMAZING guests already! The only thing wrong with this podcast is that it’s making my TBR explode. Highly recommend!

  • Totally 5 Stars!

    Abby knows what I want to know - what is in the head of the authors I love to read! The interviews are so relaxed, candid, thought provoking and at many times humorous! No more stale “please babble on about your new book” snore-feats! Abby’s digging for the “why” and push for recommendations makes for great conversation and a thirst to read more!

  • Perfect for Crime Fiction Fans!

    I’ve followed Abby on Instagram for years and I completely trust her with my TBR (to be read) so I was excited to learn she’s hosting a podcast! I’ve enjoyed the first two interviews and I’m looking forward to the rest of the season. Abby is a great interviewer- she connects with the authors and is knowledgeable about a wide range of crime fiction. And even more importantly, she has a great voice for podcasts.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ruth Ware on Reality Dating Shows and Agatha Christie
Q: What keeps you continuing to want to write?
Gosh, writing books isn't always easy, but for me, it's intensely enjoyable. There's nothing else I would rather be doing.
Ruth Ware on Reality Dating Shows and Agatha Christie
Q: Can you tell us a little bit about how that came to be?
I was contacted out of the blue by the editor saying, we're reissuing a bunch of Christie's best. Would you like to write an introduction to one of them?
Halloween Week with Riley Sager: Slashers, Ghost Stories, and Spooky Suspense
Q: Was there a particular moment or experience that you feel like was your light bulb moment of inspiration for Middle Of The Night?
Yes, it was creepy. I live on a cul-de-sac in Princeton, New Jersey, and I have trouble sleeping. One night at two in the morning, I looked out the bedroom window and saw the security light click on across the cul-de-sac, thinking it could be a ghost.
