And for all my fellow mystery and thriller enthusiasts out there, I've got you covered with recommendations from authors like Riley Sager and Ruth Ware. But not all books leave a lasting impression. I'll be discussing a few titles that couldn't live up to the hype. However,  I have some alternatives!   In the episode, I refer to The Icebreaker as The Heartbreaker and The Last to Vanish as The Last to Finish. Apologies to the authors for pronouncing their titles incorrectly.
