Whack Job is a true crime history full of axes and murder by Rachel McCarthy James.
I did another tandem read with my audio and physical review copies. Jennifer Pickens does a phenomenal job narrating! (I also loved her narration in A Sorceress Comes to Call by T. Kingfisher.)
The book did feel a little meandering, like there wasn’t a through line. But overall I had fun learning about a lot of these things!
I love books about weird parts of history, or oddly specific things. I stow away information from books like this for future trivia nights.
I received a complimentary review copy from St. Martin’s Press, Macmillan Audio and NetGalley. All opinions contained herein are my own.
