Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2464 KP) rated Owls Well That Ends Well (Meg Langslow, #6) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
The large garage sale Meg and Michael are throwing to clean up their new home is drawing huge crowds. Sorry, the body in that trunk isn't included. The humor had me laughing the entire way through, and I thought this was the best mystery of the series. Very well done.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2464 KP) rated Stay At Home Dead (Stay At Home Dad Mystery #1) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Deuce Winters finds himself a suspect in the death of his high school rival after the man's body is found in his minivan. I enjoyed the characters, especially Deuce and his wife. But I felt the mystery was pretty thin and was annoyed by the author's willful ignoring any sense of time.

Aaron is surprised when he is asked to find a missing housewife. He gets frustrated when everyone seems to block his attempts to get answers. But when he stumbles on a dead body, things really get interesting.
I loved this book. Great characters and funny humor kept me turning pages until the end.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2464 KP) rated Arsenic and Old Puzzles (Puzzle Lady #14) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Cora Felton has found herself involved in another murder when a Sudoku shows up on the body of a man poisoned at a boarding house in town. It's the usual verbal sparring and puzzles fans of the series will love. I was just bothered by one action Cora took part way through the book.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2464 KP) rated Corpse on the Cob (An Odelia Grey Mystery, #5) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Odelia travels to Massachusetts to find the mother who abandoned her 34 years before. When she finds her mom, the older woman is kneeling over a dead body in a corn maze. This book juggles the mystery with the story about Odelia's family quite well. I couldn't put it down.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2464 KP) rated A Flicker of Doubt (Candlemaking Mystery #4) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
A quick kayak trip down the river behind his shop leads to Harrison finding the body of his ex-girlfriend. With the sheriff determined it was suicide, Harrison sets out to prove it was murder. As much as I love Harrison, the sub-plots took over the story and slowed the book down overall.

Clare Parrott (294 KP) rated My Best Friend's Stepfather in Books
Feb 13, 2018
If you want to read this for Dare the Dom then I'm sorry your going to be disappointed, there isn't a dominating bone in his body. Saying that if you like M/M or M/F/M then this is maybe for you. I enjoyed the love triangle aspect and it appears you can have your cake and eat it. But what let this book down big time was Helen the stepdaughter. No, just No!

It’s just getting started
Contains spoilers, click to show
The end of his book is just where it gets good and you start learning the real juicy stuff about the situation.
The world building is a little repetitive, there is economic crisis between the App World and the Real World. It’s interesting to see someone’s perspective in having a body for the first time. I’ve read sci-fi done better, but I’m excied to see where this rebellion goes.

Upset the head and you’re dead
A Charles band movie that actually isn’t too bad. The head of the family is literally that, a giant head on a tiny body and the rest of his siblings are just as odd. I’m a sucker for these sort of films, it’s got full on weirdness, mixed in with a dose of nudity and a special Joan of arc scene. Who wants more from a movie
Erika (17789 KP) rated Weekend at Bernie's (1989) in Movies

No, this film is not a masterpiece in film-making. But, it's one of my favorite movies.
First, the first scenes of this film where Larry (Andrew McCarthy) brushes off the mugger in Central Park, since makes me smile.
The story-line is very 1980s, fraud/embezzlement in a corporate atmosphere. The physical comedy by Terry Kiser was exactly what was needed. Who thought toting a dead body around could be so amusing?
