Going back to your hometown is always a little strange. But coming back to a hometown where you were accused of the murder of one of your closest friends? That's when it gets uncomfortable. This is the plot of our next read, Cold Waters by Debbie Herbert. Our resident thriller expert, Abby Williams, joins me to discuss why this book missed the mark for us. 

In this episode we cover: 

• The difference between crows and ravens (yes, there's a big difference)


• Why fitting every thriller trope known to man into one book is not a great idea


• Why it's important to review books shortly after you read them

Grab a drink, open the book, and press play on CROW-ded mess of a book review! 

Mentioned in the Pairings section of the podcast:

• Sharp Objects (Book and TV Show)


• Gone Girl (Movie and Book)


• Verity by Colleen Hoover (Book)


• Pretty Little Liars (TV Series and Book)


• David Baldacci (Author)
