The sisters complete this gripping romance-thriller and they have THOUGHTS! Candice has once again turned on the female protagonist and she questions if she has internalized misogyny.
Chrissy is mostly happy that Beth and Frank were able to save their marriage, but Candice wished Beth had run off with Gabe to live a miserable life in a loveless marriage so Frank could be free of Beth's villany.
Ultimately both sisters agree that Frank deserves better.

In an expected end, Olive and Adam end up as true loves. In an unexpected end, Malcolm and Holden also end as true loves!
Candice goes a little to hard on Olive in retrospect (sawwy I was FIRED UP) but Chrissy keeps the rocket ship grounded. While this was frustrating to read it was so fun to recap!
Let us know if you want more romcom recaps and we will add in to the rotation

The girlies have once again put all their chips on a murder suspect who was completely innocent. While Chrissy was never fully convinced of Billy's murdering ways, Candice is still not convinced Billy ISN’T the true big bad of this mystery.
Unanswered questions
Why did Billy’s Mom abandon him with a known pedo/killer?
Why did Billy not look at his tool kit when Jet was investigating?
Did Jet overlook Luke’s serial killer tendencies?
Does Sophia ever face consequences?
Does Mr. Finney hate Billy because he doesn’t like to murder?
Despite these questions we rated this book a 4.9 This is a fun & fast-pace thriller while being a little more grounded in reality than other thrillers we’ve read
For our first venture into Holly Jackson, we loved the ride! Thank you FSmith for this recommendation.

In part 2 of 3, the sisters are in the thick of solving Jet's murder & all eyes are on Billy.
The girlies wonder how Jet is able to use a pick-axe without triggering her aneurysm, is Jet worse than her mom? And surely the murderer can’t be Luke because he is throwing off all red flags

Join the Bookalicious Girlies as they dive into critically acclaimed Holly Jackson’s newest novel, Not Quite Dead Yet. This book comes as a reader recommendation, by number one listener of the pod FSmith
Who do you think attacked Jet? The murder suspects are numerous, but Candice thinks the only plausible candidate is friendzoned-Billy. Chrissy is unsure who she thinks attacked Jet, but she is very confident in her disdain for our immature protagonist.
This will be a 3 part bonanza as the sisters celebrate their newest favorite holiday - Hollyween

Candice and Chrissy wrap up the octopus book and realize they have been misjudging this book for an entire year! Some things discussed-
- Why didn't Cameron look for his mom? Or write off Tova as "too weird to be related to me"??
- Is taking care of others a burden?
- Why is Cameron a man-child?
- Do we wish more questions were answered?
- How is Avery okay with Cameron and his antics? Is she a robot?

- Our first foray into granny fiction?
- Is Tova a curmudgeon or sympathetic?
- Can every book be a murder mystery book?

The sisters make history in their first movie recap - Netflix Thursday Murder Club.
While the movie has glimmers of good scenes, Candice calls it a flop & demands a miniseries. Chrissy said she enjoyed it, but later reveals she was bored & Mom fell asleep.
Timeline wise, this is the last episode recorded before baby Franklet arrives. You wont get an update until November!
Join us next week for another granny-fiction read, Remarkably Bright Creatures
In this final episode of Thursday Murder Club the sisters bring on a very special segment - UK correspondent FSmith! The sisters learn stones are used for measurement, grassed is not a common phrase, and all you need to not be liked is to be named Shirley!
Join us next time for our discussion on Thursday Murder Club the Netflix Movie!
Join the sisters as in part 2 of Richard Osmans best selling whodunnit Thursday Murder Club. The girlies break down Ian's unfortunate demise play-by-play, with Ibrahim rising the ranks as one of the #1 suspects.
The sisters put on their detective hats once again to solve the burning questions of our time:
Thanks for joining the club! This will be a 3-part series with a movie recap at the end (unless Chrissy's baby comes 2 weeks early!!!!)
In this very special episode, the Bookalicious sisters made friends with fellow podcaster extraordinaire, So Approachable hosts Jamie & Sarah.
The FOUR FRIENDS meet up for a video recording where they discuss all things Jeneva Rose The Perfect Marriage & The Perfect Divorce. Due to Jamie's ability to edit videos this episode is video!
Let us know if you like the video format & we may consider doing it.....regrettably neither one of us like to brush our hair or be presentable
"You're a serial killer, Ada!"
In the biggest twist yet, Queen Freida ends the Housemaid series with the most normal book yet. No rocket ships, no Millie murders, and no razzle dazzle. We talk lots about things that didn't work for us in this book (why did we know nothing about the important characters??), some things we wished happened instead (Janice should have "definitely* kidnapped Spencer), and things we still loved about the final Millie adventure (Murder Millie 4ever).
Join us next week as we start Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt; recommended by friend of the pod, Meg!

In a bittersweet moment, the sisters start the last (??) book in the Housemaid Millie Saga!! About 95% of the pod references our Killy Milly theory. If you want to brush up on that theory (or are new to the pod), check out the beginning of The Housemaid Wedding to catch up!
As Killy Milly leaves her original host and descends on (Nico? Janice? Martha? Someone else?!), Millie grows more normal and the rest of the world turns more kooky. Some topics discussed include:
- Did Nico inherit the murderous spirit of Millie?
- Did Janice kidnap Spencer?
- How does Millie think Enzo has never killed anyone when we all know he runs the NY mafia??
- When would you tell your kids you're a serial killer?
And MORE!
