Episode 234: We Talk About Our LOL Moments
Podcast in Death
Here we go, everyone, with our We Review the Reviews episode for “Desperation in Death”!
Since this is such a new book, there’s not the amount of reviews to choose from that we have with other titles. Still, we find some doozies.

As we always do, we found a few reviews that praise Susan Ericksen, and one who says: “I hope Nora Robert’s is aware of how fortunate she is to have such a fantastic narrator doing her work such justice.” (She Does).

We had fun with these reviews, and we hope you have fun listening to them!
As we recorded this episode, Nora Roberts had just celebrated her birthday! So in honor of that, we decided to get to know Nora a little bit by reading some […]
