Episode 583: Caroline Kepnes & Dennis Lehane

Well, if you love crime fiction like we do, if it’s in your blood and your words and your noir heart, you have come to the right place. 

Today we have two master storytellers, and while both are certainly worthy of standalone episodes, the fact they’re both dropping books the same day was too good an opportunity to pass up in creating an epic literary team up. 

Caroline Kepnes returns to the show to discuss her latest Joe Goldberg novel, You and Only You, available now from Random House. Then Dennis Lehane drops by to chat about his novel Small Mercies, out now from Harper.


I started writing Joe and I became addicted to that voice.

Mary Pat was a character that’s been living in my head a long time. I knew a lot of women like Mary Pat growing up. A lot.
