We had some technical difficulties this week, but trust us, it all makes sense in the end.

Jennifer Lynn Barnes you brilliant beautiful soul! This week, we are mad. Mad at the Laughlins, mad at Blake, mad at Emily, and super mad at Tobias.

Avery and Oren get stuff done while Jameson tries to be Grayson, Grayson obsesses over Eve, Eve loves herself, and Vincent demands justice.

A stand off in the chapel leads to some long awaited clarity but of course, Tobias has to ruin it from beyond the grave.

All that to say we're getting close to the end here and things are definitely heating up!

So I guess it was Let's Be Mean To Rebecca Day in Dallas? Was that on anyones calendar? Don't worry Thea will handle everything.

This week we finally get a conversation with Mallory Laughlin and it is.....interesting.

Nash takes a step back from the drama, Grayson is still acting like a lovestruck puppy, Jameson gives us backstory that we don't have time for, and Xander shows up ill prepared for the biggest meeting of his life.

Nan provides some information that she conveniently left out the last time we talked, Alisa is rude (again), and Oren takes a break.

Do we know what's going on? No.

Will we figure it out before the book ends? Also probably no.

But of one thing we are certain. Grayson Hawthorne knows how to make a SCENE!

This week the satchel is back, Eve is still sketchy, and we FINALLY find out what happened in the wine cellar. Come along with us will you?

Much less chaos this week.

We get some ex-husband backstory from Zara (who is a gardener now?), Nan stops arguing with God for a minute to give us some dark hints about Tobias, and our poor baby Xander is very, very sad.

On a happy note, Max makes a discovery of biblical proportions, we learn the term 'glitter cannon', AND THERE'S A PUPPY!!

Let us go ahead and apologize for the chaos of this episode.

We've got violent nightmares, Eve stealing nightgowns, mail coming to the school, and we go on more rants than ever before. We could blame the coffee, but it's more fun to blame the Hawthornes.

The good news is Max has a broody body guard who has lots of layers for her get through.

Settle in y'all, we're on to chapters 11–20 of The Final Gambit by Jennifer Lynn Barnes, and there’s a lot to unpack. Avery lets Eve in on the game (but not out of the house), a visit to everyone’s favorite villain sparks another Jameson vs. Grayson showdown. Which is fine because this is how they say "I love you."

Nash is clearly in love with Libby, Libby won’t say it back, and Xander and Max have stuff going on that they're not telling us about which is super rude. Rebecca is sad again (we’re ready to fight), Oren has some elite Batman-in-the-shadows moments, and the list of suspects in Toby’s disappearance just keeps growing. At this point, we’re fully hoping for a surprise soap-opera ending..

We’re back in Dallas and surprise, surprise...we’re already confused.

Here’s what we know so far:

Something weird happened in a wine cellar.

Whatever it was has caused Grayson to stop Grayson-ing.

Avery has to survive six more weeks with these people before she can inherit the money.

A surprise guest arrives at the house and she could bring this whole operation crumbling down.

Xander is playing detective.

Max got a tattoo.

What’s the most interesting part? We’ll let you decide.

It's our last day in Bayview, friends.

We're saying goodbye to our friends as they move on to the next phase in life and we talk about what we liked and didn't like in season one of the Peacock series based on these beautiful books.

This series is what made Charlie fall in love with reading and it's the first series we read together so if you're here thank you so much for being a part of our Murder Club journey!

We're going to start 2026 off in Dallas with the Hawthornes so if you don't already have your books go grab a copy of The Final Gambit so we can all be stressed out together!

For now, lets send our crew off in style while we hold back the tears.
