Charlotte (184 KP) rated An Eye for a Lie (Inspector Richter #1) in Books

Jun 17, 2019

A strong start to a crime series!
An Eye for a Lie is a brilliant, gripping story that hooks you from the start.

I love a good crime mystery and this definitely falls into that category for me.
Richter is a well written, multi-layered character, although I didn't warm to him straight away but he totally grew on me.

Vessa is pretty cool, admittedly she falls for men like I fall for chocolate, but she's very insightful and has an intelligence that seems to have skipped a few members of the SFPD.

I'm impressed with how well Cy Wyss has managed to keep me entertained and engaged throughout, details are well balanced so I wasn't overwhelmed or bored. It was fab as it brought out the detective in me.

Merissa (13043 KP) rated Fury of Ice (Dragonfury, #2) in Books

Dec 17, 2018

The second in the Dragonfury series and we focus on Rikar. He is an ice dragon who has the hots for a homicide detective. Unfortunately for him, she was captured and abused by the Razerbacks so Rikar has his work cut out for him.

This story goes a little bit further into the world of the Nightfuries although we do still hear about Bastian and Myst and how things are progressing for them. Rikar has an uphill struggle with his inner dragon as he feels the need to have vengeance on behalf of his mate but also knows that she needs closure for herself to heal.

This is an enjoyable series and I am looking forward to the next one. I still found the ending a bit sharp though.

Kudos

Look at this Photograph

8mm- is a underrated mystery thriller, it was directed by Joel Schumacher, yes the person who destoryed and ruined batman two years before this movie came out. Joel Schumacher is better with mysterious and thrillers than Batman. Anyways the plot:

Private detective Tom Welles (Nicolas Cage) lives a normal life with his wife (Catherine Keener) and young daughter, until he receives a startling new case. A widow named Mrs. Christian (Myra Carter) has found what appears to be a snuff film among her late husband's belongings, and she wants Welles to determine if the movie is real or fake. Welles heads to California, where a video store employee (Joaquin Phoenix) helps him infiltrate the dangerous and depraved world of illegal porn movies.

Its suspenseful, horrorfying, twisted and overall a good movie.

This is definitely a hugely underrated film. And one of the few times Nicolas Cage is actually decent!

Good Work Detective

Saw V- this frachise is keeping me on a loop, so many twist and turns, im on the edge of my seat, cause its soo good. This franchsie is keeping me questioning everything about the charcters, john and his motivation, the detective's, the victims, so many questions and so many unexpected answers, that you wont see coming from a mile away. I love this franchise.

The Plot: Despite the fact that fiendish serial killer Jigsaw is dead, his work lives on through a new apprentice, Lieutenant Mark Hoffman, a cop who appeared to be hot on the murderer's trail. As fellow lawman Agent Peter Strahm begins to suspect Hoffman is Jigsaw's protégé, the fledgling killer sets out to dispose of him.

What will happened next, i will soon find out. Cant wait.
