"Yes. November Road blew me away. It’s a period piece—not something I’m normally into—set in the aftermath of the assassination of John F Kennedy. A mobster and a young mother intersect as they both are on the run from very different things. It’s crime fiction at its best: heartfelt, thrilling, and leaves you with a lump in your throat. I love that. I don’t think I have a criminal mind, but a curious one. I think I gravitated toward thrillers because they allow me to explore questions about people. Why do good people do bad things?

But given the success of November Road , maybe I ought to be thinking more like a criminal!"
