Katherine Greene's The Lake of Lost Girls: Mixed Media, Missing Girls and The 90s


Listen Later

This week I got to talk with writing duo Katherine Greene, made up of A. Meredith Walters and Claire C. Riley.  We dive into how they became friends and writing partners, the initial image that was the inspiration for this story, and how they approach writing thrillers together.

The Lake of Lost Girls Synopsis

It's 1998, and female students are going missing at Southern State University in North Carolina. But freshman Jessica Fadley, once a bright and responsible student, is going through her own struggles. Just as her life seems to be careening dangerously out of control, she suddenly disappears.

Twenty-four years later, Jessica's sister Lindsey is desperately searching for answers and uses the momentum of a new chart-topping true crime podcast, Ten Seconds to Vanish, that focuses on the cold cases, to guide her own investigation. Soon, interest reaches fever pitch when the bodies of the long-missing women begin turning up at a local lake, which leads Lindsey down a disturbing road of discovery.

In the present, one sister seeks to untangle a complicated web of lies.
In the past, the other descends ever deeper into a darkness that will lead to her ultimate fate.

This propulsive and chilling suspense is a sharp examination of sisterhood and the culture of true crime.
