Conviction

"In this Reese Witherspoon Book Club pick, the protagonist Anna McDonald has a connection to a true-crime podcast and sets out on a road trip to uncover the truth, drudging up secrets and a tragedy from her past. The book explores celebrity and the modern penchant for using private trauma for public entertainment in a hugely entertaining story told at a lightning pace. Mina has been called the “modern crime queen” and this book warrants a bend of the knee. In a typical year, which this obviously is not, the winners are announced at an awards gala filled with literary royalty at ITW’s ThrillerFest conference in New York. The conference is cancelled this year, but ITW is presenting the awards during ‘Virtual’ ThrillerFest , on Saturday, July 11, 2020 at 2pm (EST), which will be streamed on Facebook live. We have a few surprises in store, so I hope everyone checks it out to honor the nominees and winners."
