Episode notes

In this chapter, the speakers discuss a character named Cassie and her involvement in a plan. Despite recognizing the potential dangers, Cassie is eager to experience the thrill of being someone else and getting close to others under false pretenses. She is sent to live with four other grad students in a home called the White Thorn House, which is the ancestral home of a man named Daniel.

This week, we use Tana French’s outstanding sequel The Likeness as an opportunity to comment on everything from the semi-serialized nature of crime stories to tips for going undercover to Pokémon Go.

We read French’s first novel, In The Woods, for the show a couple of years back, and while you don’t need to have read that book to enjoy this one, we will spoil minor elements of both books in our discussion this week. You’ve been warned!
