Wendy Walker’s psychological suspense novels have been translated into 23 foreign languages, topped bestseller lists both nationally and abroad, and have been optioned for television and film. Prior to her writing career, Wendy practiced both corporate and family law and worked as a financial analyst at Goldman, Sachs & Co. Her latest novel, What Remains, will be released in June, 2023. 

Among other things, Carter and Wendy discuss the difference between writing and reading dark novels, how she applies her real-life knowledge to her characters, and their love for ambiguous endings. At the end of their conversation, they tell what could be the beginning of a new thriller novel, starting with a sentence from Just After Sunset by Stephen King.
