In this episode, because we just read "Bonded in Death," and got some more good information about some details of Summerset's involvement in the "Urban Wars," we thought that we would re-visit this topic, since the first time we talked about it way back on Episode #19, we were OFF topic more than we were ON topic.

We also talk about how like it or not, this series...and books in general ARE political, so politics are going to come up from time to time. We recognize that talking too much politics might lose us some listeners, but when it's relevant to a book, we are going to bring it up. We are hoping that the majority of our listeners understand this and will stick with us.

Anyway...we were both a bit distracted in this episode, but hopefully, it's still entertaining!

Hi Everyone! On this episode of Podcast in Death, it's our yearly talk with "In Death" Audiobook Narrator, Susan Ericksen!

This was such a fun show to do! We talk with Susan about (among other things) her recent trip to Italy, the Wikipedia page we created for her, the "In Death Bullpen Rap" that was written by listener Dana! Our listeners asked her a lot of really good questions, and made some really great comments. One of our favorite comments came from listener Pansy who told the story of how she realized that when Susan voices "Crack," she has been unintentionally channelling Pansy's Uncle Peety.

We had a really great time with Susan, and we hope you all have a great time listening. Looking forward to talking with Susan again in another year.

This week, we roast some of the dumbest Goodreads reviews of Bonded in Death—complete with ChatGPT-generated comebacks and code names for cranky reviewers. We rant about trigger warnings, explain (again) what a police procedural is, and wonder why people keep reading books they clearly hate. Also: Summerset’s a badass, Roarke’s still rich, and we’re still annoyed.
