  • Episode 43 - The Honeymoon by Shalini Boland: Her Mini Murder Kit
    Jul 14 2025

    We’re talking about The Honeymoon by Shalini Boland. Among other things, we discuss pickpockets and our preference for European architecture. Give your opinion on the book in a comment below!

    We also wanted to let you know that we’re going to be taking an indefinite hiatus. We’re going to be focusing fully on our other podcast Terrifyingly Typical True Crime, but we want to thank everyone who has listened.

    We truly appreciate it and hope you continue to discover new good books and if you aren’t able to avoid those that just aren’t your cup of tea, you’re able to complain to someone like-minded. Happy reading!
