Peter Pulaski Must Pay

A Novel

By: Jen Lancaster

Narrated by: Tanya Eby, Anne Marie Lewis, Daniel Henning, Kelsey Jaffer, Tim Campbell

In this twisty, hilarious novel, New York Times bestselling author Jen Lancaster explores what happens when a marriage, friendship, revenge, and the human capacity for deception collide.

Call to order the Friday Night Doom Crew.

They’re an eclectic group of true-crime enthusiasts—a forensic psychologist, historian, and popular Instagram presence among them—dedicated to sleuthing out nefarious offenders and doing whatever it takes to set things right. But when dark secrets threaten one of their own, the Doom Crew grapples with how far they are willing to go to protect her.

Diana Pulaski is the crew’s meticulously organized beating heart whose physician husband, Peter, is secretly a swindler behind an illegal pill mill, not to mention a loathsome cheater involved in an online romance. When they discover the truth, the amateur vigilantes have a plan to make Peter pay. Unfortunately, the closer Diana’s friends are to hunting Peter down, the closer they get to discovering a secret Diana has been hiding.

As the fumbling Doom Crew’s wild ride of vengeance goes awry, they must navigate the consequences of their actions. And Diana, forced to confront the past, must decide to whom she will remain loyal—no matter the cost.

Critic reviews

“A roller coaster of a ride with unsuspected plot twists and surprising turn of events, Peter Pulaski Must Pay by gifted storytelling novelist Jen Lancaster is a non-stop fun read from cover to cover…Highly recommended.”—Midwest Book Review

Great book

Another funny book from Jenn Landcaster. I loved all the characters and there bond with each other.

Humor

It was a mystery and thriller but so engaging and funny. Loved it. I would definitely listen to part 2, if there ever was one.

I love Jen Lancaster’s sarcastic humor!!!!!!!

I really like chapters being designated as from one character’s view and hearing his/her thoughts as well as dialogue. That aspect of this book really appealed to me from the start.
The story moves at a good pace coupled with development t and I sight into each character. . There is one character who, quite frankly, I was tired of hearing from half-way through the book but that’s just her character. The characters who are more akin to my personality I found quite fun through the entire book.
And if you’re wondering if there will be action more intriguing than friends who just go about daily life and get together for their crime podcast group, there is!!!
I highly recommend this book and I really enjoyed it.

Everyone! Frankie was my favorite

It was so good. One of my favorite books I’ve read this year. Also Jen Lancaster is becoming one of my favorite authors.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was fun and entertaining. I liked how she infused real cases and real life for the doom crew to talk about. I don’t know if I would say I loved it or would necessarily recommend it but I did enjoy it.
