Happy Half Hour (10/26/26)

Today, we’re chatting about a girl who rescues a mysterious horse from her Scottish loch, only to discover he’s a royal kelpie bound to ancient magic; a book club full of amateur detectives who once solved a real-life cold case… and a terrifying masked killer on the loose; and a woman who flees her narcissistic husband to take a job as a live-in driver at a remote castle in the Scottish Highlands that quickly turns into a nightmare.
