Going in a different direction left Saleh and the writers with the responsibility of crafting a new Simon Says and their own mystery for Season 2 that finds Murder Club actually having a hand in a murder this time, albeit in self-defense against a killer. Not having the books as a story guide for the second season was both “exciting and freeing,” but also “a little nerve-wracking,” Saleh says, “just in terms of how much we know our fans love the books and love these characters, and just wanting to make sure that we were really continuing to deliver on the heart of the characters that Karen created.” ![]() Where they end up at the end of Season 1, just getting to, like, think they can trust each other and beginning to be honest about who they are, and then to have that all threatened by Jake’s death someone claims to know what they did, that really just felt like the beginning of the story to us.” ![]() “We wanted to keep telling the story we got to tell in Season 1. ![]() “We absolutely wanted to keep telling the story of the characters from One of Us Is Lying,” showrunner Erica Saleh explains.

I’m delighted to welcome Christine Mangan to CBTB to celebrate today’s release of TANGERINE - and to discuss some of my most pressing questions about her exceptional debut. You can find my full review of TANGERINE here. I highly recommend TANGERINE for fans of Patricia Highsmith, Gillian Flynn, and Alfred Hitchcock-and yes, these are lofty comparisons to make, but this book delivers. The fact that this is Mangan’s first book is just another impressive facet of a story that more than stands on its own two feet, from pacing to character development to scene-setting and more. TANGERINE is a story humming with interpersonal tension and simmering with the heat of its locale this is truly an outstanding first novel - in fact, I’d call it outstanding even if the author had already had a seasoned career. In this stunning examination of the intricacies of female friendship, Mangan sets a tense, almost claustrophobic encounter against the backdrop of 1950’s Morocco. ![]() Christine Mangan is making her entrance into the literary world in a big way-not only has TANGERINE already received incredible reviews (find my rave here!), it’s also already been optioned for film by George Clooney’s Smokehouse Pictures. I’m absolutely thrilled to welcome to CBTB today the author of one of the most exceptional debuts I’ve read in ages - and maybe ever. Q&A: Christine Mangan, Author of TANGERINE ![]() ![]() ![]() Her use of the drugs had started before the actress slipped into those ruby slippers, in part due to studio bosses who demanded she remain thin, and energetic enough to cope with arduous days of filming. Garland would endure excruciatingly long work hours and a studio system that turned a blind eye to, and in fact often encouraged, the use of substances such as stimulants to keep performers working, and sleeping pills to ensure they would be able to rest.īy the time 17-year-old Garland finished filming Oz, she was already addicted to barbiturates and amphetamines. The wholesome Kansas farm girl who only wants to return home after finding herself in the land of Oz, Dorothy was sweet and caring, and audiences were smitten with her from the first scene.īut the lead-up to and making of the 1939 classic was a far more treacherous landscape for the teenager to navigate than the fictional perils of Oz. ![]() As Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz, Judy Garland cemented her place in Hollywood as a beloved icon. ![]() ![]() ![]() Have You Coming Back Again / Just A Feeling (2014/-15) – by whoknows UST, angst and football makes a perfect fic.
