“When you’re a young reader and you’re reading something like that, in the place, it really soaks into your bones,” Condie said. Even with a shelf full of mysteries in her office, Christie’s work remains timeless to her. “The absence of my ex-husband, and particularly my children, and then also not having a purpose, of like, book tour — I found that I was really lonely,” Condie said.
“Then I had the thought, I was like, ‘Oh, if there was a murderer here, I would be the best person to solve it, because everyone else is paying attention to the people they are with, and I’m paying attention to everybody else,” Condie said. “This comes through in the book,” Condie said. “Like the character is not me, but definitely there’s some inspiration.” Utah author Allie Condie is pictured in Provo on Wednesday, May 29, 2024.

“But I did have to grapple with it a little bit, because you’re signing the name of someone that no longer wants you, over and over on a book; you’re seeing it printed on a book over and over,” Condie said.Being vulnerable with her readers ended up being “super healing,” she said, because people messaged her or commented and said things like, “This is your name.
