Q&A: bestselling novelist Ruth Ware

I think the crime genre specifically has got ever more crowded and competitive - which is exciting, really. It forces everyone to up their game. When someone does something brilliantly, everyone else has to raise their ambitions. We keep seeing predictions of reader fatigue but I don't see that happening at the moment and I think the competition element is a large part of why. It's also got more diverse which is brilliant and probably a large part of why readers keep reading. I think crime, as a genre, is expanding outwards to meet its readers.
