This week on Podcast in Death, AJ and Tara dive into the endless amusement that is the Goodreads review section. This time for Echoes in Death.

Highlights include:

• The new sacred rule: Never say the “G-word” (ghostwriter). It’s basically Voldemort for book reviews.

• A reviewer flexing their massive vocabulary with the word “interiority.”

• The mystery of the “sparkly strappy purse” that… doesn’t actually exist. (Someone owes us an apology for this fanfiction-level slander.)

• People who hate the series so much… that they keep reading 44 books of it. Make it make sense.

• One star reviews from folks who don’t like Sherlock Holmes-type books… while reading a murder mystery novel literally titled Echoes in Death. Sir, the math isn’t mathing.

• The eternal question: why do people act like remodeling at "Casa Roarke" is a crime worse than murder?

• Plus, a completely necessary tangent about Bill & Ted, the overuse of the word heinous, and the controversial idea of whether movie sing-alongs should be mandatory or punishable by death.

Basically, if you’ve ever hate-finished a book just so you could toss it across the room, this episode is for you.
