The Big H: We Review the Reviews of "Naked in Death"

from Podcast in Death · host Amy Ryan and Tara Corkery

This week AJ and Tara dive headfirst into the wild, weird, and occasionally unhinged world of Goodreads reviews for the very first In Death novel. From "this book is liberal propaganda" to "Roarke is my new literary boyfriend," nothing—and no reviewer—is safe.Tara bravely soldiers through the episode despite feeling under the weather, while AJ becomes increasingly fascinated (and occasionally horrified) by people who apparently hate romance...while reading romance.⭐ The one-star reviews that made us question humanity.📚 "Authors" reviewing Nora Roberts...and why AJ immediately checked their reviews.☕ The greatest romantic gesture in the series? (Hint: It's coffee.)💰 Why Roarke continues to ruin fictional men for everyone else.😂 The many, many people confused that a police procedural contains...police procedures.🐈 An unexpected debate over whether Galahad is "cat enough."🎧 Yet another reminder that Susan Ericksen is an absolute audiobook legend.❤️ Readers who started skeptical...and accidentally fell completely in love with the series."People need to stop reading stuff they don't like."Simple. Elegant. Surprisingly difficult for Goodreads.A huge thank you to everyone who's been sending messages and catching up on the back catalog!Special thanks to:Monica, for letting us know we're still producing "pee your pants funny" episodes.Lisa, whose SpeakPipe suggestion inspired a future episode all about every time Eve and Roarke feed the squad (because apparently food is one of Roarke's love languages).Tara has officially started Glory in Death, so Book Two is on the horizon...assuming AJ gets caught up.No promises.🎧 Join the conversation!Visit InDeath.net, where Patreon members can log in using their Patreon account and automatically gain access to the patrons-only forum.You can also find us on Facebook, Instagram, Bluesky, or leave us a SpeakPipe message through PodcastInDeath.com.Until next time...Keep reading, keep laughing...and maybe stay away from the Goodreads one-star section. 😉
