Delicious. Exceptional. Exceptionally delicious. If you\u2019re tired of mediocre dudes getting away with whatever they want, please read Layne Fargo\u2019s latest. It\u2019s a revenge thriller for the #metoo era and beyond, in which Dr. Scarlett Clark doles out vengeance on behalf of the women of Gorman University. And for some of her targets, the comeuppance is a long time coming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\">In a year where mysteries seem to be presented as thrillers, They Never Learn is a straight up dark thriller with breakneck pacing and razorwire wrapped around every chapter. There\u2019s a particularly memorable line \u2014 I won\u2019t spoil it for you \u2014 that our main character delivers that had me laughing gleefully and thinking, yes, girl, YES!! I WISH it was on the pre-order swag for this book!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\">It\u2019s true, Dr. Clark is a badass lit professor slash serial killer, but let\u2019s give her her due. She\u2019s cut more from the Killing Eve mold than the Dexter one, but fans of either show should love this book. If you listen to a lot of true crime podcasts, you might have quibbles with how things go for Scarlett, but you have to put them aside. You just have to say eff it, this one is too fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\">Get They Never Learn from <a href=\"https:\/\/bookshop.org\/a\/6843\/9781982132026\">Bookshop.org<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiebound.org\/book\/9781982132026?aff=dailywaffle\">IndieBound<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/33W8uAm\">Amazon<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/apple.co\/3iUT43z\">Apple Books<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\"><em>This post includes affiliate links which kick us a small commission at no cost to you if you use them to shop.
