Great, no frills British psychological drama
It's rare to find psychological thrillers that aren't over the top. Instead of bodies piling up, this entire novel premises around one particular child abduction and how the people around were affected. The widow of the alleged criminal is a completely flawed person, battling her own demons whilst trying to live with him and the press / police constantly hounding her. She is by far imperfect. If I say anymore it may reveal too much. Looking forward to see this on the small screen.

Good UK Gangster Film
A very good low budget crime drama. Set in Liverpool it shows the criminal underworld as the local gangsters try to out do each other and make a name for themselves. Very brutally violent at times, this is a good little known film that seemed to go straight to DVD. Most of the cast will be familiar to UK audiences, some of which who do very well here with their performances. The story is good and keeps you guessing who will double cross who in the name of greed. Kinda like an English version of Goodfellas crossed with Heat!

FBI Kate O'Hare has been chasing conman Nick Fox for years. But when she finally catches him, her life is turned upside down. Now she finds herself teamed up with him to try to catch another criminal.

To me, this book felt like a melding of the TV shows White Collar and Castle, both of which I love. It was funny and a wild ride. The pace was just a little off at times, but for the most part I enjoyed this romp.
