A story about a spoilt sociopath
Contains spoilers, click to show
I have to say I found Lizzie Borden's character is detestable even though there were instances where her father's harsh behaviour showed. She is manipulative and spoilt, a classic sociopath and while the murderer is never openly stated, it seems very likely she had a hand in it. I felt extremely sorry for her elder sister Emma, who seems to have to put up with her behaviour. Either way, I don't feel this novel added much to this infamous tale.

I havent read anything by Val McDermid before (shock, horror!!) so didnt really know what to expect but I have heard many good things about her previous books so took a punt and requested a copy via NetGalley and was approved by the publisher, Little, Brown Book Group UK to receive it in return for an honest review which can be found on my blog - <a href="http://readingstuffnthings.blogspot.co.uk/2016/02/the-skeleton-road-by-val-mcdermid.html">Reading Stuff 'n' Things</a>.
Jenny Houle (24 KP) rated Conclave in Books
Jan 13, 2018
I have never experienced a thriller that didn't contain violence and yet...Harris does an amazing job at keeping you wondering if someone has committed the ultimate sin to get what they want. The twists and turns throughout the book kept it interesting, and the attention to detail kept it "educational" for lack of a better word. I had no concept of what goes into a conclave ahead of time and found those details to be interesting enough that one does not get bored by them.

Realistic not Hollywood style thriller
Luke Smitherd has done another great job in bringing to life characters facing inexplicable terror. Chris, the protagonist, is both humorous and human - making misguided choices based on the little experiences that he had. The man in white is a brilliant villain, odious through his fake good humour and his macabre outlook of life. I really wish we could've found out how and why the man in white chose his victims and not just just how he picked his pawns. Would recommend!
MaryAnn (14 KP) rated He Holds My Hand: Experiencing God's Presence and Protection in Books
Mar 5, 2019
He Holds my Hand is a 365-day devotional written by Carol Kent during a period in her life when her world was turned upside down. After learning her only son was arrested for murder, she turned to God and her Bible to find comfort. The result of all her praying and meditating is found in this wonderful devotional.
The devotional is splendidly written; under each day it begins with a quote followed byCarol's writings and then you find scripture to follow up the writings.

gayga (2128 KP) rated Human Traffic (2000) in Movies
Apr 8, 2019
I’m probably the last person in the world to watch Human Traffic! I was somehow under the impression it was like Trainspotting, which I found as boring as fuck! However, I loved HT much better, not that I’m biased - being Welsh (I’m Swansea rather than Cardiff!)
I wasn’t a party person myself but watching Jip, Nina, Lulu, Koop and Moff I really felt like I wanted to be. I think it captured the feeling of the 90’s. Will be excited to see the sequel!

Obsessed book reviews (49 KP) rated The Proposition (The Proposition, #1) in Books
May 7, 2019
found this book by accident while searching and thought id give it a go as the story was a bit different and i'm so glad i did. it was well written and the characters were witty and romantic. even the secondary characters worked well on enhancing the story. as with many trilogy's i always try and wait for the complete set and i'm so glad i did. have book two ready as this book has a cliffhanger ending.

New found addiction
Whoever hasn't seen the advert for this game is very lucky and probably rare. Eventually those have had seen it probably went and downloaded it and to be fair it has that connection of I guess action play as well as free gambling with the slot machines. Whilst it lacks communication with other players I definitely consider it a decent game.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2434 KP) rated Mama Does Time (A Mace Bauer Mystery, #1) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Mace Bauer's quiet evening at home is interrupted when her mama calls from jail. It seems that Mama found a dead body in her trunk, and naturally the police think that makes her the prime suspect. Can Mace prove otherwise? This is a fun debut filled with wonderful characters. I did feel the pacing was a bit slow, but overall, I enjoyed it.
