Welcome to the worst bestsellers, where we read about queer people solving crimes so you don't have to.

I'm Kate.

And I'm Renata.

And for this episode, we read Murder Games slash instinct by James Patterson and Howard Ruffin.

Go with that.

Joining us to discuss this book from my vision board, our wheelie-popping badass and serial killer enthusiast, Chris Collision.

I'm none of those things.

Howdy. And obnox of those things. Howdy.

And obnoxious baseball cramundrumjum, J.W. Friedman.

I've got a lot of complaints.

I don't know that we've talked about this book before, but I've talked about this show before on the show

several times. It is the oncoming crime procedural instinct, which I have mostly, I think,

only talked about because it is a generic murder show, but with a gay person, which, as you all

know, is literally all that I want in the world.

Before we get into your vision board, I do want to jump back a half step and just

further welcome back, Collision in JW, who you may remember as previous guests on the show,

and of course, co-hosts of their own bad book podcast I don't even

own a television so is this actually going to be hard for you to talk about a book that

caused a TV show do you is this damaging to your brand I think at this point we

spend about half the time on our show talking about television and old hardcore

records so I think we're in the clear.

Yeah, but thank you for having us back and once again welcoming us into the warm Jay Patterson Waters.
