Hannah and Laura are diving into the 4th book in Tana French's Dublin Murder Squad, Broken Harbor. They cover the first half of the book and have decided that they do, in fact, care about Scorcher Kennedy. They also chat about some movies that Laura has been loving, a YA thriller that Hannah just can't understand the plot of, and whether or not women would date Chris Evans if he was poor.
