Alex Michaelides: “Novels are about expansion”

Hindustan Times  

What drew you to writing crime fiction and psychological thrillers? Author Alex Michaelides ) I think I was always a nervous, fearful child – and so I can relate to the feeling of fear and suspense in these books. I have studied her books and her plots, and now, whenever I get lost or confused while writing a book, I ask myself ‘What would Agatha Christie do?’ And thinking about that usually sets me back on the right course. I think the kind of crime novel I’m interested in, a more psychological crime, has been popular for a long time, and will continue to be so. My interest is in marrying the crime genre with a deeper psychological sensibility and I feel very grateful that so many readers have gone along this path with me.
