Love in the Time of Serial Killers Review + A Cat-and-Mouse Thriller in the Jim Crow South with Wanda M. Morris

In the first segment, Jordy sits down to discuss one of her favorite books of this year. Love in the Time of Serial Killers gives us the spice we need, the laughs we want, and the insight we weren’t expecting.

Wanda M. Morris’ sophomore thriller, Anywhere You Run, comes out this week and Renee wants to shove it in EVERYONE’s hands. Wanda chats with Renee about what it means to be a good girl, especially a good Black girl in the South, whiteness and class, and the parallels Wanda sees between then and now.
