Killing Time by Brenna Ehrlich
3.0

The author/main character’s views of My Favorite Murder aren’t new or edgy and honestly have no place in this book, especially when the term murderinos is used in the marketing materials. The three stars are for the plot itself being interesting, especially the way the past and present tied together in the end. But the murderer is predictable, the motive spotty at best, and the podcast that this book is supposedly about is almost never shown (and the content of their podcast sounds a lot like MFM, again a podcast that the MC claims to hate). The amount of times I wanted to yell, “You’re not a journalist, you’re a teenager,” was far too many.
