Blair Waste Product
Possibly the worst film I have ever seen.
If you are thinking of watching this film try this instead:
Buy a tin of paint.
Pour it on the floor.
Watch it dry.
A lot more intersting and a hell of a lot less irritating.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2165 KP) rated The 9th Judgment (Women's Murder Club, #9) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
The Women's Murder Club are hot on the trail of a cat burglar who just escalated to murder and a serial killer praying on women and their very young kids. After the disappointing last book in the series, I actually found this one enjoyable. The epilogue left much to be desired, however. Mindless entertainment, but fun mindless entertainment.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2165 KP) rated A Fatal Grace (Chief Inspector Armand Gamache, #2) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
When the much despised CC de Poitiers dies on Boxing Day, Chief Inspector Gamache returns to Three Pines to solve the crime. I found the first part of the book very slow and hard to get into. It did get more interesting in the second half, but I'm not sure how excited I am to continue the series.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2165 KP) rated False Profits (Tucker Sinclair, #1) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Business consultant Tucker Sinclair finds her career in danger when a client substitutes a new business plan for the one she created. Then he turns up in the Pacific Ocean. Can she solve the murder and save her career? I loved the LA setting, but found the mystery a little slow going and the characters a little light.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2165 KP) rated How to Train Your Dragon: Book 1 in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III has to train a baby dragon to obey his commands in order to avoid being cast out of his Viking tribe. But can he do it? I enjoyed the movie, so I was looking forward to the book. Unfortunately, I just found it average with underdeveloped characters. And Toothless, the dragon, was especially annoying.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2165 KP) rated Dead to Writes in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Cassie Ellis is ready to celebrate the launch of her first mystery novel when someone starts killing her contacts. Who could it be? I really connected with the characters and can't wait to spend more time with them. The pacing of the story was a bit uneven, but I still found the book hard to put down.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2165 KP) rated The Thin Man in Books
Mar 9, 2018
After seeing all the movies, I finally read the book. Nick and Nora Charles are trying to enjoy a Christmas in New York City, but a case involving one of Nick's former clients keeps interrupting the holiday. I found this book lacked some of the spark of the movie version, but it was still enjoyable.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2165 KP) rated The Maltese Falcon in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Sam Spade is a PI, and when his partner is murdered, he starts to look at the case. Was it the case they'd just taken on for a beautiful client? Yes, it's a giant of the genre, but I found it slow, especially at the end. Maybe that's just how things have changed over the years.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2165 KP) rated Say Goodbye in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Gary Kellerman gets involved in a mystery when his neighbor dies in a car accident. To complicate matters, he can't hide his attraction to the only witness. Good story, likeable characters. However, I found the romantic sub-plot moved too fast for me to buy and I never got used to the writing style.
