Soundtrack: Broadway Butchery
Broadway Butchery is live! Larkin and Doyle's latest mystery was a doozy of a project—to say the least—but I'm pretty happy with the end result. And like I do with all writing, I obsessively listen to the same dozen songs over and over and over until the book is complete. Here's the soundtrack for Book 3:
NOT OK - Robert Grace
Arcade - Duncan Laurence
Love Again - Dua Lipa
Little Girl Gone - Chinchilla
Die Happy - Dreamers
The Search - NF
Sunset Jesus - Avicii
Achilles, Come Down - Gang...
