This week my guest is award winning author and investigative reporter Hank Phillippi Ryan, whose latest book, The First to Lie is a chilling psychological suspense novel. In a starred review Publishers Weekly called The First to Lie “Stellar.. Hank Phillippi Ryan could win a sixth Agatha with this one.”
The First to Lie is exactly the kind of gripping, suspenseful read I love staying up with on a fall night, eagerly turning the pages. This book kept me guessing from start to finish. I also could have chatted with Hank about her career as both an award-winning investigative reporter and author all day. I hope you enjoy our conversation as much as I did.
