The New York Times Book Review recently released its list of the
50 best thrillers of the 21st century.

To put it together, the team asked almost 300 authors and other
experts to vote for the best heart-thumping, page-turning, white
knuckle reads published since 2000.

In this episode of “The Sunday Daily,” Natalie Kitroeff talks
with the Times thrillers columnist, Sarah Lyall, about how the
list came together. Then, Natalie speaks with one of the greatest
thriller writers of this century — with four books featured on
the list — the author Tana French.

On Today’s Episode:

Sarah Lyall writes a monthly thrillers column
for The New York Times.

Tana French is the author of many best-selling
books, including “In the Woods,” “The Searcher,” “The Likeness”
and “The Witch Elm.”
