IG Live with author Amin Ahmad

Some books just make for great conversation. This was one of them.

I had there great pleasure of talking with author Amin Ahmad this morning. We talked about A Killer in the Family, his ultra-wealthy immigrant family at the center of the story, the Succession-meets-Crazy Rich Asians vibe, and his inspiration for Abbas Kahn the head the of family, his writing process, and joy he gets from teaching creative writing at the college level.

Amin was such a genuinely warm and thoughtful guest. One of those conversations where an hour flies by.

If you haven't picked this one up yet, you should.It's a twisty thriller wrapped around a really sharp look at power, family secrets, and the American dream. The kind of book that keeps you second-guessing everyone. A Killer in the Family is out now.

You can watch the replay of our conversation here. And if you missed my review of A Killer in the Family, you can find it here.
