Sue (5 KP) rated Walk a Crooked Line in Books

Aug 13, 2018

A young girl is found at the base of an old water tower deemed a suicide and Detective Jo Larsen is put on the case. What brought this girl to this place and caused her to end young life; abuse, neglect, bullying, loneliness, and/or depression. Upon further investigation through interviews with family and friends, Jo and her partner Hank try to put the pieces together and find that something horrible happened to Kelly causing her to take the fatal plunge.

In this well-written book by author Susan McBride, she draws you into a story about a girl that was failed by those that were supposed to look out for her and take care of her. It brings to light a factor that many young people face today concerning bullying, loneliness, and trying to fit in. Through the character of Jo, you see the story unfold as she investigates and discovers the parallels between her own childhood and that of the young girl she is investigating.

What an incredible story! This was my first book by BJ Harvey and I can surely say I'll be back for more. I LOVED these characters! Callum is not the typical male rich slut found in most erotic novels, having come from a good home and family but this book is entirely from his POV, which was a much-welcomed change. He comes from a pure place that makes his secret sexual desires seem dirty and forbidden to him. Lucia, on the other hand, is a force of nature and I LOVED her beyond words! Again, unlike your typical female lead. She is strong, witty, independent and confident... all the things Callum truly needs in his life. When they push limits together their bond is tested.. yet I never thought for a second these two wouldn't make it.. their connection so palpable, I hoped it would only make them stronger. Incredible love story - Highly recommended!

Overall, this film was pretty good, but it dragged on FOREVER. The story was great, but the film spent way too much time on the personal life the lawyer, Robert. Seriously, they could have edited out an entire hour of that sort of junk. It ruined the film a little for me. Seriously, they could have cut Anne Hathaway's character out and it would have no effect on the film.

Again, the story was so good, and it's always pretty terrifying to think about what's being dumped into the water supply.

EDIT: At one point, when Robert is at a courthouse in WV, filing the whole, the drinking water is poison thing, HE DRINKS FROM A WATER FOUNTAIN! What the f----?

So, if you want an interesting film, and don't mind slogging through family stuff that has little to no bearing on the story, I would recommend it.
Please, directors/editors/studios, stop making movies over 2 hours that could be a tight hour and a half.
