If you are ready for another sassy episode I got you covered. We finish up the book The Box in the Woods by Maureen Johnson, and you literally won't be able to guess the ending. Like it is straight out of left field with no hints leading up to it. Color me disappointed but it does make for a funny episode.

Read this if you dare.

She's Back!!!!

In The Box in the Woods by Maureen Johnson, Stevie is back (I am not sure if that is a good thing) to investigate a quadruple murder that happened at a summer camp in the 1970s.

This book really gets to the murder fast and it is not an episode you are going to want to miss.

Read this if you dare.

In Episode II covering One of Us is Next by Karen M. McManus, it is revealed who didn't survive the game of Truth or Dare.

Additionally, we get a very awkward truth and some romance...the biggest of who cares.

Next time we will be finishing up this book and hopefully have all our questions answered!

Until we sail again.

Bonus Episode Alert with Captain Book and The First Mate!

We cover 4 short stories from the book Crime & Mystery Short Stories.

The first story The Cost of Security by Tara Campbell starts with as a husband's murder plot to have his wife ended, and ends with a turntable twist.

The second story Skitter and Click by Jennifer Dornan-Fish will have you questioning everything. This was a hard read about little boy who was murdered but the twist bone chilling ending almost makes it worth it.

The third story Home Run by Marcelle Dube is an empowering story about how a baseball playing boy named Cooper protects his mother.

The fourth and final short story is Suggestive Thoughts by H.L. Fullerton and it is all in the title. This was an interesting story that is difficult to explain and I suggest you just see for yourself with this one.

All in all we had a blast making this bonus episode for the crew. If you have any suggestions for shorts stories you want covered please send a message through Facebook or Instagram @thejollyreaderpodcast

Until we sail again!

There are a lot more stories in this book if you want to check it out.
