The Big H: We Review the Reviews of "Naked in Death"

This week AJ and Tara dive headfirst into the wild, weird, and occasionally unhinged world of Goodreads reviews for the very first In Death novel. From "this book is liberal propaganda" to "Roarke is my new literary boyfriend," nothing—and no reviewer—is safe. Tara bravely soldiers through the episode despite feeling under the weather, while AJ becomes increasingly fascinated (and occasionally…

Justice for Sharon!! We Re-Review "Naked in Death"

Thirty years after Naked in Death first hit shelves (and after 300+ podcast episodes), Podcast in Deaeth returns to the book that started it all. Is it everything we remembered? Does Roarke still sweep us off our feet? Did we discover new layers after reading the entire series? But perhaps most importantly, we now believe there needs to be: Justice for Sharon de Blass!! 📖 Going back to Naked in…

Complainers in Death

Apparently if you don't like Eve Dallas doing her job, there's only one logical solution: Go complain to Commander Whitney. This week we're celebrating the long, glorious tradition of politicians, billionaires, dirty cops, diplomats, federal agents, grieving relatives, and professional whiners marching straight up the chain of command because Lieutenant Dallas dared to investigate them. Spoiler…

Fireworks have Entered the Chat

Just in time for the Fourth of July, AJ and Tara celebrate America's favorite pastime: Fireworks but also explosions, namely, all the things that have exploded in the In Death series. And wow... there have been a lot of explosions. From car bombs and exploding robots to suicide vests, hotel bombings, military attacks, and enough boomers to make a bomb squad nervous, AJ and Tara dive into the…

Six Years, 314 Episodes, and Absolutely No Plan

Happy Anniversary to us! 🎉 For our sixth anniversary episode, we did what any responsible podcasters would do: showed up with absolutely no plan and started talking. What followed was a trip down memory lane as AJ and Tara revisited some of their favorite Podcast in Death moments from the last six years. From the nerve-wracking first time reaching out to audiobook legend Susan Ericksen, to…

Danger, Headlines, & Unexpected Challenges - In Death Astrology

Eve Accidentally Stood Out: A PID Lost Episode

This week's episode is a little of an… archaeological find : we recorded it exactly two years ago , started editing it, then completely abandoned it and let it fade into obscurity… until now . Peabody is the MVP: she’s the best pick for a desert island situation and the most likely to lead a protest . Roarke gets crowned “ most likely to quietly take over the world ” (because… obviously). Mavis…

How Has it Been Four Years?? We Talk to Heidi & Emily of Romancing the Shelf

Four years is a long time in real life. In podcast time? It’s basically an Urban Wars era. So when AJ & Tara welcomed back Heidi & Emily from Romancing the Shelf , the energy was instantly: HOW has it been four years?! Last time RTS visited, they’d only read the first three In Death books and were cautiously optimistic. This time they arrive with full “we’re in it” confidence—plus the kind of joy…

Huzzah to the New Reader! WRTR "Golden in Death"

This week AJ and Tara dive back into the chaotic wonderland that is Goodreads reviews, and honestly? The reviewers gave them plenty to work with. From people dramatically announcing they’re “done” with the series (while continuing to read every single book), to complaints about Peabody’s “cringe” badass moment, to someone somehow claiming Somerset wasn’t even mentioned in the book… the chaos level…

Normal Eve & Roarke Shit: We Review "Golden in Death"

Episode 309 is here, and apparently the theme of Golden in Death is: “What if entitled men simply accepted consequences?” Unfortunately for literally everyone in this book… they do not. This week AJ and Tara tackle one of the most detail-heavy cases in the entire In Death series, complete with poison-filled golden eggs, rich private school drama, cheating scandals, bullying, terrible people with…
