On the Saturday September 5, 2026 edition of The Richard Crouse Show we’ll meet New York Times and internationally bestselling thriller author Linwood Barclay. With more than 25 novels to his credit, including breakout hit “No Time for Goodbye,” which sold over a million copies in the UK alone, his gripping, twist-filled domestic suspense novels explore ordinary people plunged into extraordinary danger, family secrets, and moral dilemmas. His books have been translated into more than two dozen languages, sold millions of copies worldwide, earned praise from Stephen King, and have been adapted for television.

His latest white-knuckle thriller, “Not a Word” follows a man who discovers his parents dead in an apparent murder-suicide — only to uncover a web of dangerous secrets tied to Big Pharma and his own family’s past. Master of the “what would you do?” thriller, Linwood Barclay remains one of crime fiction’s most reliable   and compelling voices.

Then, David Kittredge, an Emmy-nominated director, editor, producer, and screenwriter known for his work across independent film, documentary, and queer cinema stops by. His credits include writing and directing the cult LGBT thriller “Pornography: A Thriller,” editing the acclaimed director’s cut of “54,” and serving as lead editor and co-executive producer on Shudder’s award-winning series “Queer for Fear: The History of Queer Horror.” Today we’ll talk about his feature documentary “Boorman and the Devil,” about John Boorman and the making of “Exorcist II: The Heretic,” premiered at the Venice Film Festival.
