One of Us Is Back: Chapters 41 & 42 + Season 1
•
It's our last day in Bayview, friends.
We're saying goodbye to our friends as they move on to the next phase in life and we talk about what we liked and didn't like in season one of the Peacock series based on these beautiful books.
This series is what made Charlie fall in love with reading and it's the first series we read together so if you're here thank you so much for being a part of our Murder Club journey!
We're going to start 2026 off in Dallas with the Hawthornes so if you don't already have your books go grab a copy of The Final Gambit so we can all be stressed out together!
For now, lets send our crew off in style while we hold back the tears.
