Author I draw inspiration from: I tend to alternate between reading mystery thrillers and literary fiction. So, if I have to choose one author, the name that comes to mind is Delia Owens. Even though she has only written one fictional novel, that wonderful novel incorporates the two genres, and it does it beautifully.

The last book I read: I recently read “The Guest List” by Lucy Foley. It is a well-crafted mystery thriller.
