It's a crime if you don't listen to this episode. We are thrilled to have #1 international bestselling author of "twisty physiological" crime thrillers Ruth Ware join us on this episode of NPT's A Word on Words.

“In spite of being very firmly a crime writer, I'm very proud to call myself a crime writer. I'm actually not super interested in the crime itself very often.”

John Neville, the man convicted of killing April, Hannah Jones’ college roommate, has died in prison. John's death causes Hannah to admit some doubts that she has always had about his conviction. She is forced to ask herself if John Neville didn't kill April, who did? Ruth Ware speaks with author J.T. Ellison about her book, The It Girl.
