Every time I upload an episode I think I should apologize for the length of time between episodes. Here we have us discussing *The Dry* by Jane Harper. Content warning: This is a murder mystery…
So who would you recommend this book to?
Um, I will say that the book has a 4.06 star rating out of like, uh, 275,000 ratings on Goodreads.
So I would say obviously overall all like a fairly glowing r- reviews.
I think this is a pretty standard, uh, mystery, um, nothing outstanding to me as far as I'm concerned, so I don't know.
If you, if you like, you know, your basic kind of murder mystery, I wouldn't even call this suspense or thriller 'cause it, it doesn't really have that kind of feeling to it, then I don't know, this is for you.
[laughs]
Yeah.
Yeah, I think that reading this, it's a really easy read.

Oh, God.

Well, we didn't read that for the podcast.
We got that as a, um-
Oh, okay
... as an arc or I guess maybe a finished copy, but we, it was sent to us by the publishers.
Yeah.
