In this episode of Castle Talk, Jason Henderson chats with L.R. Jones, the author of the new 'librarian stalker thriller,' You Look Beautiful Tonight. YouLookBeautifulTonight Book Interview

Publishers Weekly gave it a starred review:"In this devilishly twisty standalone…Jones reveals her characters' secrets and motives slowly, expertly ratcheting up the pace before an explosive conclusion. This white-knuckler is not to be missed." Jones chats about the process of putting together the modern domestic thriller, which has to be loaded up with constant twists, suspects, and reversals. She discusses the curious danger that the lead finds herself in, responding to a stalker who challenges her, even making demands about how she dresses and does her hair. Jones says she responds positively at first because she has yet to assert herself, and she's left a vacuum for a charming stalker/not-writer to walk into.
"What motivated me," Jones says,"was that an average girl can be the center of a thriller." Not someone who's a cop, like in Jones' previous thrilleror a detective, but just a librarian trying to decide whether to use a dating app. The writer describes herself as somewhere between a"plotter" and a"pantser," making a malleable plot that she can deviate from.
