Thanks so much for having me.
It's a tricky genre classification.
I think the name itself suggests what it is.
It's something that's
Not quite the airport thriller with the huge blocky titles and probably a picture of a desolate house somewhere or something like that.
Nor is it the quiet novel materiality that is more or less character-based, prose-based, and plot is an afterthought, if there at all.
It's trying to bridge those two.
I've always liked books that move at a fast clip, that have pace.
Maybe not ones that are a twist every single page.
That's a little bit too much for me.
But I like a novel with characters, with prose that has depth to it, that still tells a real story.
This is my attempt to do that.
The winner in my last book came out two years ago.
was my first stab at the literary thriller territory.
This is even more so, more pronounced in that direction, I'd say.
So the first half of The Au Pair is more so literary.
It's domestic buildup.
There's tension, there's suspense, but nothing untoward has happened yet.
I won't reveal what happens, but halfway through, something big happens.
And the second half is much more of a thriller.
