Month: December 2021
The Sorority Murder
This was one of the thrillers I read way back in December 2021, and honestly? The fact that I still remember it clearly says a lot. My thriller memory tends to vanish the minute I close the book, but this one lodged itself firmly in my brain. Five stars, no hesitation. The Sorority Murders kicks…
