Aaron Freiwald, Managing Partner of Freiwald Law and host of the weekly podcast, Good Law | Bad Law, is joined by Catherine McKenzie, an attorney and a bestselling author, to discuss her latest book, You Can’t Catch Me, as well as to gain insight into Catherine’s process, her creativity and imagination, and to explore the cross-overs between fiction writing and lawyering.

Do you want to play a game?

A psychological thriller, You Can’t Catch Me, transports the reader into a game of deception, where nothing is as it seems. Catherine and Aaron don’t reveal any spoilers but vaguely discuss the plot in today’s conversation; Jessica Williams is Catherine’s latest protagonist, after narrowly escaping a cult she meets a stranger at an airport bar with the same identical name and birth date… what transpires is a captivating mystery filled with fraud, danger, and fascination. Aaron and Catherine discuss the challenges of writing in the first-person, the idea of being fair to the reader, the importance of finding a work/life balance and more. Observing the similarities between fiction writing and lawyering, Catherine and Aaron talk creativity in the law, legalese, the relation between writer skillsets and those of lawyers, and Catherine explains her experience with being both a writer and an attorney.

Born and raised in Montreal, Canada, Catherine is a graduate of McGill University, where she studied history and law. Catherine practices law in Montreal and is an avid runner and skier. She is the author of numerous bestsellers including Hidden, Fractured, The Good Liar and I’ll Never Tell. In 2019, I’ll Never Tell, was a #1 Amazon Bestseller, a Globe & Mail and Toronto Star Bestseller, was shortlisted for the Hugh McLennan Prize for fiction and was optioned for a television series by Paramount TV. You Can’t Catch Me was released June 9th and is available now.
