Chris Hooker (419 KP) rated The Creator (Alex Hope #3) in Books
Apr 14, 2018
Alex and JJ are back with a very "Silence of the Lambs" meet "Psycho" type villian. This was an enjoyable macabre read. I know kinda an oxymoron but if you like crime novels you will love the Alex Hope series. The characters are well done and the plot flows. Yes, there is romance but I feel it is almost secondary to the crime solving but no less enjoyable.

I honestly thought this would just be an extended epilogue in which Nevada and Connor got married. I was very wrong. This story mainly focuses on Catalina doing equal parts wedding planning for her sister and solving a crime, with rather amusing consequences.
I honestly can't wait to read Catalina's story.

Clare Parrott (294 KP) rated Josh (The Lawmen of Silver Creek Ranch #7) in Books
Feb 13, 2018
Josh is the seventh book in The Lawmen Of Silver Creek Ranch Series. Ive enjoyed all of the previous books but this was lacking the romance and excitement i've come to expect. Thankfully not as many "Oh Mercy" 's in this story, which drove me mad in Delores other books but too many telephone calls in this, Josh spends most of his time on the phone than solving the crime.

Extremely interesting
Took this book on holiday with me and could not put it down! Managed to read it very quickly. So interesting to learn about forensics and pathology! Behind the scenes of crimes that ordinary people would not realise. Read about interesting cases as the forensic/pathology/psychological/detective work that goes into solving such crimes. Fascinating! Clear chapters also. Including some pictures!

When the devil comes to town...
Contains spoilers, click to show
First began watching this a few months ago as had very little to do during isolation, I had been avoiding it as the shows title just made me think, it's the devil...seen enough about that, always the same...but was intrigued by the character during a brilliant Cameo in a CW arrowverse event"crisis on infinite earths" and decided to check it out.
The sarcasm from the moment Lucifer appears and his delightful antics throughout the show gave the character a complete new look and feel which was welcoming.
The show follows Lucifer who has decided to leave hell and take a permanent vacation to L.A. as a nightclub owner and a smooth talking bachelor.
During his time there a murder of a close associate entwines the lives of Lucifer and hard working detective Chloe decker.
Lucifer eventually becomes chloe's volunteer assistant enjoying the thrill of crime solving which becomes more and more interesting with every case...with Lucifer not taking crime solving seriously.

Erika (17788 KP) rated Savage Appetites: Four True Stories of Women, Crime, and Obsession in Books
Feb 14, 2021
I'm a huge true crime fan, which is the subject of this book and I'm writing this as I sit here, watching Dateline on St. Valentine's day. It's looking at why women specifically are drawn to the cases, and solving them. The author uses 4 women who all got involved with famous and notorious cases, in different roles.
By far, the creepiest was the woman who entered into the Tate family's lives. It gave me the willies. There was also a female that ended up marrying an incarcerated dude. That's always creeped me out as well.
Anyway, it's an interesting read if you're one of the many people obsessed with true crime.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2200 KP) rated Mr. Monk Goes to Hawaii (Mr. Monk, #2) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Natalie is heading to Hawaii for a friend's wedding, but unfortunately Monk tags along. When a wedding guest is murdered, Monk finds some flaws in the crime scene. Will the new horrors of the island distract him from solving the case? There are some distractions to the main mystery, but they are entertaining. This is another great read for fans of the series.

Matthew Krueger (10051 KP) rated Condemned: Criminal Origins in Video Games
Oct 24, 2019
Scary Spooky
Condemned: Criminal Origins (known in Europe as Condemned) is a first-person survival horror video game, that is very good but underrated.
Condemned: Criminal Origins places an emphasis on melee combat and puzzle solving, including searching for fingerprints and gathering evidence. Lets talk more about the crime scene's, and gathing evidence.
Condemned directly involves the player in crime scene investigations, offering the ability to, at the press of a context-sensitive button, call upon a suite of forensic tools to find and record evidence. The player character is linked to an FBI lab via his mobile phone throughout the investigation, allowing (almost immediate) remote examination and analysis by his support worker, Rosa. Crime scene evidence can be used to solve puzzles, allowing the player to pass previously impassable barriers, and provide clues to the overall mysteries of the story.
Examples of evidence include fingerprints, footprints, fibers, fluids (such as blood or chemicals), particles, residues, markings/etchings, material, imprints, wounds, small objects, documents, and body parts.
The player character is gifted with the instinctual ability to detect when forensic evidence is nearby, allowing players to bring up the detection and collection tools when appropriate. However, the "instincts" of the character only vaguely highlight the area in which the evidence resides; it is up to the player to methodically sweep the scene and catalog any findings.
Lets talk about the plot: Condemned: Criminal Origins is set in the fictional American city of Metro. The player takes on the role of Ethan Thomas, a crime scene investigation agent with the FBI's Serial Crime Unit, as he traverses the seedier sides of the city. His journey takes him through a number of condemned buildings as he searches for the one who framed him for murder, the evasive Serial Killer X. Along the way, Ethan must use his investigative intuition and technology to examine evidence left behind by SKX, all the while fighting off the violently psychotic denizens of Metro City, who seem to be driven to such madness by a mysterious, yet seemingly extraneous force.
Their are two different ends: but really its the same ending.
If you do like psychological, crime solving horror games than you will like this one.
