Happy (almost) Halloween! In this episode, AJ and Tara talk about the gory or very disturbing murders in the series. After that, we have a discussion about what costumes the “In Death” crew would wear to a Halloween party. We also talk about whether or not Eve and Roarke would [...]
For this podcast episode, we are talking about the listener comments we got for “Payback in Death.” There are a LOT! And, there will be spoilers here!
For this episode of “We Review the Reviews,” Jen is on Vacation, so it’s just AJ and Tara. Since this is a brand new book, there aren’t as many reviews as with a book that’s a bit older, but we still found some “doozies.” Among those are: Oh too predictable [...]
In this episode of the podcast, we talk with Tara’s co-host on the “Basic Snitches” podcast, Adam Bowers! Adam is somewhat familiar with the “In Death” world because of Tara, but has never read an “In Death” book before. So Tara thought it would be fun to give him an [...]
***ATTENTION! THIS EPISODE TALKS ABOUT THE LATEST BOOK IN THE “IN DEATH” SERIES! IF YOU HAVEN’T READ THIS BOOK YET, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO SKIP THIS EPISODE!*** It’s finally here!! Our review of “Payback in Death.” We are very happy to say that we all just loved this book! Starting [...]
Jen is not with us for this episode, so AJ and Tara attempt to tackle the subject of whether or not Eve is Psychic. From the comments from our listeners, it’s pretty clear that most of you do believe that Eve is in fact Psychic. A few of you (along [...]
We’ve finally made it here to “We Review the Reviews” of “Possession in Death”!! In this episode, we review TWO reviews by AJ, and Tara plays the part of AJ in this episode! These reviews are very pretentious, and say “Paranormal” way too many times. BUT…they’re not wrong, and AJ [...]
Hey, Everyone! In this episode, we are discussing Tattoos! The best part about this episode, is that when we mentioned on our Facebook page that we were going to talk about Tattoos, Dana replied that she had just finished a MASSIVE spreadsheet about tattoos! Thank Goodness for that, because it [...]
This week: Everyone’s Favorite: Possession in Death! AJ doesn’t have a theme for this week, either because she just couldn’t find one, or she just didn’t care. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ For those who were disappointed that Eve never questioned Sylvester Moriarty at the end of the last book, you will be relieved [...]
In this episode, we talk with author Cathy Wiley, who used to be one of our friends on InDeathdotNet! Cathy tells us what she’s learned about writing from reading Nora Roberts. We also talk about how everyone but McNab has gotten a magic coat, and that even when Roarke gave [...]
Hello, Everyone! Here we are with another episode of We Review the Reviews! This time we are looking at reviews for “Indulgence in Death.” The really surprising thing about this set of reviews is that it takes us down some very interesting paths of really dissecting Eve and Roarke’s relationship. [...]
In this episode, we talk with our listener Michelle Kenyon again! You might remember Michelle from the episode we did in October of 2022 about Eve’s Fear of Tech. This week, AJ and Jen are talking with Michelle about the Nora Roberts stand alone suspense novel, “Identity.” We all loved [...]
In this episode of Podcast in Death, we are reviewing “Indulgence in Death”! Of the three of us, only Jen has read this book more than once. AJ and Tara only read it once when it first came out, and never read it again. BUT…as with many of the books [...]
In our Facebook group a couple of weeks ago, listener Annamarie suggested we do an episode about Opening Lines and Closing Lines. We thought that was a great idea, so here you go! One thing that became clear as we did this episode is how often, with her Closing Lines, [...]
This week we Review the Reviews of “Fantasy in Death,” and these reviews are so judgy, they make us a bit angry. So, you’re going to get a lot of rants from us in this episode. In the first review, we have someone who is upset about Roarke being so [...]
This week on the podcast, we talk with Spencer, who is “Intentionally Bookish” on Instagram and Youtube. About a year ago, she did a video about the “In Death” series, and when we saw that video, we knew we had to have her on the podcast! In this episode, we [...]
“Fantasy in Death” is one of the more odd cases in the series, with some really sketchy tech. But at least the sketchy tech gives Eve and Roarke a new setting to have sex in! This book is clearly about friendship, but it’s also about gaming and winning the game. [...]
It’s out 3rd Year Anniversary! And what better way to celebrate than to have our favorite guest of all time on the show for the third time: The Amazing Susan Ericksen! Susan is an absolutely wonderful person, and so fun to talk to. She answers several of our listener’s questions, [...]
This episode is kind of all over the place. We were using this one as a kind of rehearsal for our Susan Ericksen episode next week, so we didn’t want to have a super-heavy topic. So we talk about some of the things we’ve been talking about on Facebook recently, [...]
In this version of “We Review the Reviews,” we are talking about “Missing in Death,” which was a novella and part of an anthology. The problem with this is that it was never a stand alone book. BUT…there was a stand alone audio recording. This concept was apparently REALLY difficult [...]
This week we are giving you Part II of our deep dive into the TVTropes.org website! So many of these tropes are tropes about Eve, a fair amount are about Roarke, but we’re surprised that more of these tropes that fit Rayleen Straffo don’t mention Rayleen Straffo. We get a [...]
This week AJ and Tara review “Missing in Death,” the novella that was originally part of the “The Lost” anthology. Both AJ and Tara, for whatever reason, liked this story a lot more this time around. Since most of the novellas up to this point have had some sort of [...]
This week we review the reviews of “Kindred in Death.” As we know it was hard for us to read, so you can only imagine how hard it was for people who write bad reviews. The number of times we say that people are just dumb is off the charts [...]
Hey, Everyone! We came up with a really interesting topic for you this week! You know how occasionally, Nora talks about movies or tv shows (vids) or stage productions from Eve and Roarke’s time and they know what those things are (well, maybe Eve doesn’t), but those of us reading [...]
Hi, Everyone! In this episode, we are reviewing “Kindred in Death,” which, to be honest, is pretty graphic in comparison to a lot of the other books in this series. The first murder is a very brutal rape/murder and Nora added a lot of detail, so it’s really hard to [...]
According to the website TVTropes.org, the definition of a trope is: A trope is a storytelling device or convention, a shortcut for describing situations the storyteller can reasonably assume the audience will recognize. Tropes are the means by which a story is told by anyone who has a story to tell. We [...]
So many angry men this time around! Not sure why that is, but here we are. We have a man complaining about: “…unbelievable characters, or over-sentimentalized emoting and self-congratulating by the main characters. And the futuristic stuff is just plain silly “You can tell who wrote the book when You [...]
In this episode, we go over some of the medical stuff that happens in the series that drives Jen crazy. So, we first go over how Jen is super frustrated by when Louise is there for every kind of medical condition or procedure. Then we discuss how concussions actually happen [...]
This is a very emotional book, because it starts with the murder of Li Morris’ girlfriend, Amaryllis Coltraine. When Peabody and Eve are called to the scene and realize who the victim is, they’re heartbroken on Morris’ behalf. We just know that we’re going to get at least one “Eve [...]
On Episode #39 (March 11, 2021) AJ and Tara welcomed a special guest: AJ’s daughter, Caitlin Arend. Even though AJ has been in the “In Death” fandom since the year 2000, her daughter Caitlin has never read an “In Death” book and knows very little about the series. So we [...]
