COMING UP ON APRIL 24th!

Join us Wed 4/24 at 7pm ET on the F&F’s Facebook & YouTube as @kristinharmel & @kristywharvey welcome the NYT bestselling master of suspense, @sallyhepworth, to discuss her forthcoming book, #darlinggirls, a thrilling page-turner of sisterhood, secrets, love, and murder.

Sally’s nine novels (including #thegoodsister and #thesoulmate) are available around the globe in English and have been translated into more than 20 languages. Several of her novels have been optioned for TV and film and she has sold more than a million books worldwide. She joins us from Melbourne, Australia, to discuss DARLING GIRLS (just out from @stmartinspress), which has been dubbed “a rollercoaster of a novel” by Bookpage and an “unnerving thriller” by Booklist.

Watch the video broadcast of this interview Wed 4/24 at 7pm ET or catch the audio version on our podcast Fri 4/26. Meanwhile, pre-order Sally’s book at a discount from the F&F Shop on @bookshop_org where your purchases support our show, our guests, and indie bookstores nationwide!

See you on the 24th!

Here’s what @emilyhenrywrites had to say when the Fab Four — @kristywharvey, @pattichenry @kristinharmel & @marykayandrews — asked her which of her own books readers should turn to when they’re looking to mend a broken heart.
