Edgar-winning novelist Meg Gardiner writes thrillers. Fast-paced and full of twists, her books have been called “Hitchcockian” (USA Today) and “nailbiting and moving” (Guardian). They have been bestsellers in the U.S. and internationally and have been translated into more than 20 languages.Gardiner's latest novel is UNSUB, the first book in a series featuring homicide investigator Caitlin Hendrix.
One of five books that changed Gardiner's writing life, as shared with Crimespree Magazine:
Glitz, Elmore Leonard.Read about the other books on the list.
This was the first crime novel that truly gripped me. Until then I’d only read puzzle-piece mysteries. Compared to those, Glitz seemed electrically charged—it was tense, it was right to the gut, and oh, boy, was it cool. After reading this book I never picked up another Agatha Christie. And I was freed from the idea that mystery novelists had to write straight whodunits.
