I love crime fiction and I'm eager for a peek behind the scenes, courtesy of one of the best crime writers writing today. Washington Post says, "Val McDermid is one of the bright lights of the mystery field."

From the publisher: "Internationally best-selling crime writer Val McDermid has riveted millions of readers worldwide with her acutely suspenseful, psychologically complex, seamlessly plotted thrillers. In Northanger Abbey, she delivers her own, witty, updated take on Austen's classic novel about a young woman whose visit to the stately home of a well-to-do acquaintance stirs her most macabre imaginings, with an extra frisson of suspense that only McDermid could provide."
