5. Blanche on the Lam - Barbara Neely

Join us in a TUCOTMS first, with a re-read of a pre-podcast classic, Blanche on the Lam by Barbara Neely. We have a double-helping of Queens of Crime! Barbara, crowned in Season 2 with Blanche Cleans Up, and the protagonist Blanche; a queen in her own right. We are also joined by a special guest, friend of the show and Maddy's mum, Sue.

We reveal whodunnit, so read before you listen if you don't want the ending ruined! We also share spoilers for the film we discuss in TV Tattle, Widows.

In Mystery Business, Han shares a mystery relating to the book copies she acquired from the very excellent, Strand Books in New York.

In TV Tattle, we discuss the excellent acting of Viola Davis and our own personas in a heist scenario.

We also discuss time travel, the power of saunas and snapdragon (again).
