Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2352 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.

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 (2352 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.
