Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2434 KP) rated Dark Pursuit in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Darrell Brooks, the best selling "King of Suspense," is struggling to write his 100th book after an accident stole his ability to concentrate. But he's going to need all his mental powers when his estranged granddaughter finds a body in her apartment and suspects her boyfriend, a cop, put it there. I loved this Christian thriller. The characters were good, but the character development at the end was a little abrupt.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2434 KP) rated The Penguin Who Knew Too Much (Meg Langslow, #8) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Meg and Michael are finally ready to move into their new house. Unfortunately, Meg's dad finds a dead body while digging a pool for the penguins. Wait a minute. Penguins? Yep, it's another mad cap romp with Meg and her family. I found the book very funny and laughed the entire way through. Unfortunately, the ending was a tad weak for my tastes. But that was the only flaw in the book.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2434 KP) rated Murder With Peacocks (Meg Langslow, #1) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Meg's summer as maid of honor in three weddings for three different demanding brides is complicated enough before a dead body shows up. And there's the attractive man in town for the summer as well.... This is a fun, enjoyable series debut with plenty of humor. However, the mystery gets side tracked by all the antics of the characters at time. Still, this does start a series I love to this day.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2434 KP) rated Caught in a Bind in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Merry Kramer's co-worker is having a rough week. First, her husband vanishes. Then he's accused of stealing money from his work. Finally, a dead body shows up in her garage. Can Merry figure out what is going on? I love these characters, and the book drew me in even on a reread. However, I found the sub-plot about spousal abuse often became preachy and slowed down the book.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2434 KP) rated The Clovis Incident (A Sasha Solomon Mystery #1) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
PR consultant Sasha Solomon is putting together a campaign for the New Mexico city of Clovis, which means she gets to see her best friend Mae. Mae is acting weird, however, and with good reason. There's a dead body on her dairy farm. And, oh yeah, she's being kidnapped by aliens. After the first 20 pages, I was fully into this book. It's different but funny with great characters and some wonderful turns of phrase.

MissCagey (2652 KP) rated Game Night (2018) in Movies
Mar 28, 2018
My husband and I watched this at the cinema this afternoon. My husband was amused by it but I thought it was very funny and laughed out loud at parts. The humour was right up my street, no toilet humour, farting, body parts or childish sex jokes here, it was created within the couple's interactions and their personalities. The creepy neighbour didn't even have to speak to make me laugh at him and his awkwardness. It was slightly farcical in places but all in all a well written and worthwhile to watch film.
Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2434 KP) rated Not a Girl Detective (A Cece Caruso Mystery, #2) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Cece is speaking to a Nancy Drew collectors meeting about Carolyn Keene and the authors who really wrote under that name. However, between a rash of vandalism and a dead body, she's found herself in a mystery that would make the teen detective proud. I found some of the collectors over the top and the pacing a little off, but on the whole I still enjoyed this book.

Roxanne (13 KP) rated I am, I am, I am: Seventeen Brushes with Death in Books
Nov 14, 2018
This is a collection of 17 near death experiences which are well written and engaging. Each chapter is illustrated at the start by showing us the body part which nearly caused the death of O'Farrell, I thought this was a nice touch. Sometimes I fumbled a bit whilst reading through this book and ultimately got a bit jumbled in places too. I think the confusion would of been solved if the incidences were written in chronological order. It felt a bit too all over the place rather than a good, smooth read.
