Charley (64 KP) rated Rivers of London: The First PC Grant Mystery in Books
Feb 19, 2019
Perfect balance between magic and CSI
This book was a bit of an emotional rollercoaster. The author was amazing at getting you to go through all the feelings of the main character PC Grant throughout the book. It took me two days to get through this book.
I thoroughly enjoyed the book and am itching to go and buy the next in the series.

Hugely entertaining, with a bit of artistic license
I’ve just started watching the original series of CSI again from the start, and like the many times I’ve seen it before, I absolutely love it. From the opening title sequence set to The Who’s ‘Who Are You’ and the numerous sweeping panoramas of the bright lights of Vegas, CSI for me was always one of the better crime shows out there. And instead of focusing on dashing detectives, for a change it instead chooses to look at the science behind the crimes. It has engaging and well developed characters, and even the less prominent lab characters are more than just two dimensional extras, even developing into some of the main stars in later series. The crimes are a little bit bonkers, filled with equal parts of blood and gore and humour, and there are some very thrilling multi-episode serial killers thrown in across the many seasons.
It is a little bit far fetched, but you’d be bored if it actual stuck to reality. The forensics are very advanced and not entirely realistic (I studied forensics at uni, not quite as flashy as it appears on screen), but again, it’s nothing more than a bit of artistic license. My only criticism is that I mich preferred this series with the original cast. It was never quite the same after Grissom left.

Emma @ The Movies (1786 KP) rated Breaking In (1989) in Movies

This one has been done to death really. Child/children taken by bad people. Parent goes nuts to get them back. But despite this fact... I still love watching them. Especially where it's a woman that is on a mission. At this point I'd like any would be attackers and burglars that after all these movies, and many Home Alone marathons that I feel very prepared to defend my territory... and I'm watched a lot of CSI, so I'm getting away with everything too.
Where The Strangers was predictable and dull, this was predictable and yet still entertaining. It's not going to win any awards, and was annoyingly a little short, but still a good watch to pass the time.

Kristin (149 KP) rated The Profiler: My Life Hunting Serial Killers and Psychopaths in Books
Dec 7, 2018
I really like how this was presented: Each case was described, evidence was provided as to who Brown believed was the likely suspect, and the status of the case where it sits now was noted (basically, dormant). I just received my Master's in Forensic Psychology, so reading how Brown became a profiler and how she uses her knowledge to work on "cold" cases was both intriguing and helpful for me. I especially liked her idea of creating a suspect bank through ViCAP that could be accessed across the nation, in the event that a suspect in one crime crosses jurisdictions and is interviewed in relation to another crime. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone interested in the Forensic Psychology or Criminology fields, or for those who like such TV shows as the "Law and Order," "Criminal Minds," or "CSI" franchises.

I received a complimentary copy in exchange for an honest review.
Another novel that I am not sure why I requested it. Maybe because it sounded like a bad girl good guy trope that I have been interested in lately.
I felt the couple naturally meshed well together. Their chemistry was palpable, their conversation realistic and well written. As a whole, the story was intense and well written. I wasnt ready for such a severe, emotional read but that was what I got. While it was a powerful read, I felt like it was too emotional for me to enjoy. I tend to get caught up in stories, and they wreck me. At this time in my life (nursing school), I am not equipped to handle this.
Overall, there wasnt a lot action in terms of fighting, shooting, or crime stuff in general. I recommend it to all the Law and Order, CSI buffs out there who are looking for a good romance.
