True Crime Tuesday presents: The Close-Up with Actor/Musician/Author, Pip Drysdale!
Pip Drysdale has written books that have been praised as "electric", "Unexpected", "tension-soaked", and "serious addictive". But this new book, "The Close-Up", ups the ante!
A struggling author discovers the dark side of fame when a stalker begins reenacting violent events from her thriller in this electrifying and twisty new novel.
When Zoe Ann Weiss moves to Los Angeles to pursue her dream of becoming a writer, her whole future is wide open. But then Zach, the bartender and aspiring actor she’s falling for, ghosts her. Her debut novel, a thriller, fails. And she has writer’s block worse than ever before. Now, three years later, Zach is famous, and Zoe is...not. She’s facing her thirtieth birthday, a dead-end job at a flower shop, and a demanding agent, terrified she’ll never get her life back on track. But when she runs into Zach while on a job, it’s like no time has passed at all. They start dating in secret, her writer’s block disappears, and Zoe begins to wonder: Zach inspired her first novel, so why can’t he inspire her second? Inevitably, photos of the couple are leaked to the press, causing her first novel to go viral. But the problem with everyone knowing your name is that everyone knows your name—including the mysterious stalker obsessed with Zach. A stalker who begins reenacting violent events from Zoe’s book, step by step, against her.
On Today's TCT, Pip Drysdale joins us to talk about her beginnings, the inspiration for "The Close-Up", The psychology of human beings and the duality of personalities that go into this novel. and, the scenarios that lead to the shocking ending of "The Close-Up!"
