New York Times #1 bestselling author Gregg Hurwitz joins The Crew Reviews to discuss THE DELIVERY, a razor-sharp novella about an AI companion designed to serve a family, and what happens when it serves them a little too well.

Rebecca and Mark Higgins are barely holding it together. She's recovering from a devastating loss, he's drowning at work, and their daughter Maddy needs more care than they can give. So when a cutting-edge tech company offers the perfect solution — a humanoid AI companion Maddy names "Mr. Man" — they welcome him into their home. At first, he's a miracle. Then the neighborhood starts to change.

Gregg joins the Crew to talk about the story behind the story, and why a tale about outsourcing our lives might be the most unsettling thing he's written.

New York Times bestselling author and Emmy Award–winner Matt Goldman joins The Crew Reviews to discuss LIAR’S CREEK, a brooding small-town thriller about fathers, sons, and how far a family will go to protect its own.

When Clay Hawkins comes home after twenty years away, the rift with his father, Judd, is right where he left it. Then Clay's uncle Teddy goes missing, and three generations of Hawkins men have to face each other to find him.

Matt takes us inside the book—what stand-up and a TV-writing career (Seinfeld, Ellen) taught him about dialogue and timing, what fly fishing has to do with grief and fathers and sons, and how a missing-person story becomes a story about loyalty and coming home.

Acclaimed thriller author Bill Schweigart joins The Crew Reviews to discuss DIRTY 20 — his audacious new crime novel that game masters The Sopranos into a head-on collision with Dungeons & Dragons!

Tommy Fugue never wanted any part of the family business. But when his father — aka Big Al, aka King of the Denver Streets — hands him a "summer job" laundering money online, Tommy figures he can list a few fake projects on the crowdfunding site FunFunder, pledge them with zombie accounts, and clean a dirty $20,000 in time for college in the fall. There's just one problem: the throwaway tabletop RPG he mocks up using his mother's old artwork goes viral. Pledges rocket past $650,000 — and Tommy now has to actually deliver a real game while navigating his father's capos, a crew of unforgettable misfits, and a criminal underworld where failure means something a lot worse than a bad review.

Bill takes us inside the genre-bending architecture of DIRTY 20 to discuss the craft of welding gangster fiction to high fantasy, what tabletop gaming taught him about narrative tension, the dark humor that powers the book, and how a former Coast Guard officer ended up writing the most original crime novel of the year. We also dig into family, loyalty, and what it means to discover you're capable of more than the people around you ever expected.
