Today we welcome the author of ‘The Killing’ and ‘The House Of Dolls’, David Hewson to the blog. David Hewson has written more than twenty books, all of which are published in several countries. We are grateful that despite his busy schedule, he has found the time to speak with Anneke Schrijft on a variety of topics such as his goals when creating a story, how being an author has affected the way he reads books, as well as what he likes most about the Netherlands.

 What got you into writing thriller novels?

To be honest I never set out to write in a particular genre. Just strong, intelligent, original readable stories. I got tagged as a crime writer after a while and if you write books with police in them that’s inevitable. But I think they’re more than simple whodunnits. They’re about what writers have always been tackling, the complex state of humanity. Why people fall and what happens when they to.

What’s the thing you’re most proud of in your newest novel, De stenen engel?

The back story of the Schrijvers, Bert in particular. He’s a decent man, struggling to survive and understand how best to help the family he loves deeply. In the end he finds his own solution — a unique one I think. I really enjoyed writing Bert.
