I’ve followed Abby on Insta for a while now. Get so many of my next reads from her. Gave this Pod a go and love it. Such great insight. Always have a pen ready to write down books and authors. Hope there are plenty more to come

This podcast checks all the boxes! Great guests, entertaining host, and just plain fun to listen to. As an aspiring author and lover of thrillers I couldn’t ask for a more fun and informative show. I cannot wait for season 2!
Apple Podcasts5Agent GriffithUnited States3 years ago - 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!
Apple Podcasts5hennnzzUnited States3 years ago - Fellow crime fan
I saw Abby at Iceland Noir 2022 and as a fellow fan of Scandinavian crime fiction I felt like we have similar tastes and was very excited to hear about her podcast. Really enjoying it so far!
Apple Podcasts5LSP-NYUUnited States3 years ago - 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
Apple Podcasts52bit elroyUnited States3 years ago - 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
Apple Podcasts5Nanny PennyUnited States3 years ago - 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
Apple Podcasts5OptiPattyUnited States3 years ago - 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!
Apple Podcasts5CadeylinnUnited States3 years ago - Superb
The best of what’s around! Bookmark it!
Apple Podcasts5il libroUnited States3 years ago - 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!
Apple Podcasts5SmitellUnited States3 years ago - Love!
Abby is so articulate and is such a great interviewer, I am loving this podcast!
Apple Podcasts5kfly_18United States3 years ago - Fun show and great host
I love reading mysteries and crime novels. Abby is such a great host and this was an enjoyable way to hear authors talk about writing and reading.
Apple Podcasts5Luella HarterUnited States3 years ago - Perfect Crime Fiction Podcast
I first found Abby on her Crime by the Book Instagram and immediately loved all her content. Abby does a great job bringing the crime fiction reader right up close with amazing authors! I was so excited to find out Abby was launching this podcast! Great work Abby! Thank you for sharing your love of crime fiction with us!
Apple Podcasts5bostongrl76United States3 years ago - 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.
