We’re talking about The Appeal by Janice Hallett in this week’s episode. We lament the fact that our favorite character died and that several people who need therapy haven’t yet received it. We go over our theories about how much some of the characters actually knew about what was going on (do you think we’re off-base?). We also discuss the inclusion of a secret code (don’t they always elevate a novel?) and if one of the characters is being haunted. Leave a comment to let us know what you thought of the book!

Join us as we review The Fury, Alex Michaelides’s third and most recent book. We comment on the top-notch acting skills of several characters. We mention how prolonged isolation causes issues (another reason we have to interact with other people, sigh) and how it’s never great when someone’s first reaction is to turn to physical violence. As in the last episode, we again note the recurring characters and the references to Greek tragedy and mythology (were you also a fan?) Give your opinion on the book in a comment below!

Join us as we discuss The Maidens, Alex Michaelides’s second book. We touch on the characters from The Silent Patient who make a guest appearance in The Maidens. We recommend side-eyeing students who worship their professors and people who display an unhealthy interest in someone when they have access to where they live (not that any kind of unhealthy interest is ideal). We also mention our appreciation for the numerous references to Tennyson’s life and work. Let us know what you thought of The Maidens!
