Show Notes
In this interview, I chat with Lauren Oliver about The Girl in the Lake, UVA's Division of Perceptual Studies, her research, incorporating reincarnation into the story, creating a strong sense of place, what the rest of the series will look like, what surprised her the most when writing this one, and much more.
Lauren's recommended reads are:
God of the Woods by Liz Moore
The Dublin Murder Squad series by Tana French
The Anniversary by Alex Finlay
