CRIMINALLY GOOD: Interview with author Sarah Pinborough

1) So, who are you & what have you written? 

My name is Sarah Pinborough and I’ve written over 20 novels. My most recent are the YA thriller, 13 Minutes, which just sold to Netflix, and Behind Her Eyes, a psychological thriller (HarperFiction UK/ Flatiron US, Jan 2017) You can find me at sarahpinborough.com or @sarahpinborough on Twitter.

2) Why do you write crime fiction?

I like the puzzle box nature of thrillers, but other than the Dog-Faced Gods trilogy (dystopian crime trilogy) I don’t tend to write police procedural. I really enjoy the unease and claustrophobic tone of Hitchcock and although I love a great twist, I’m far more interested in the human motivations than the police detective work. Plus, there’s way less research if you leave the police out of your crimes
