Welcome back Night Owls for another episode of Book Club After Dark. This episode we begin as always with an all new  drink of the episode, 'Housemaid's Punch,' and we're getting into the psychological thriller 'The Housemaid,' summarizing its plot, setting, character dynamics, and key events, and hinting at its upcoming film adaptation. The episode also features an interview with Ashley and Liz from the 'Besties & the Books' podcast, covering various bookish topics, including overhyped and under-hyped books, the wildest part of being a podcast host, and their favorite 'AITA' segments. The conversation transitions into spicy book discussions, favorite romance genres, and a game of 'F,M,K' with characters from the ACOTAR universe. We wrap with a fun mystery Q&A session.
