    2 ~ The Woman in the Window

    In this second episode of the world-renowned Book Mortem podcast (don't look that up), Sarah Lynette breaks down the many twists and turns of the (actually) world-renowned 2018 thriller, The Woman in the Window by A. J. Finn.(Also, never you mind that the podcast's title in this episode is "The Book Morgue"; the marketing guy was apparently out sick the day of recording.)
