I know, I should gave finished it after slogging through 3/4 of the book but it appears that what I was reading wasn't sinking in. I just read a bit at the end of the last chapter and I was like, "When did that happen?"

I have struggled with it from the beginning. I'm currently into my paranormal books again and this was a freebie on Amazon. I was hoping it would be like the last book I read,

 but it's nothing like it.

I like my kick arse heroines with brooding love interests and I found our heroine in this to be too whiny and selfish. The wanting her family to know she's still alive despite knowing how dangerous it could be for them all. I normally don't get too bothered by character personalities and decisions by jeez, Erin did my head in.

Suspense
A body is found in the middle of a cornfield in Nebraska. Detective Mackenzie White is on the case. All the men are intimidated by her. She is pretty and young. She is good at thinking outside the box and most of the men are older and are stubborn with their old school police work. Not only does she not have the support of her department, but her family also is a mess and doesn't really have anything to do with her and her boyfriend is a man child that doesn't want to move forward with life or the relationship. She believes this a serial killer so the FBI is called to help. It was a good read. Nothing to write home about. It's a typical murder mystery. I would recommend it to someone who wants a short read or is new to thrillers and murder mysteries.

Daniel Craig's awful fake accent (0 more)
Not bad
When I first put this movie on to watch I very nearly almost gave up with it. It starts with an annoyingly long interview with each family member to try and ascertain what happened with millionaire Harlan thrombie, which to be honest I found long winded and boring. The rest of the movie was good though and we learn why and how he died quite early on. The rest of the movie is the culprit trying not to get caught whilst working alongside the detective working on the case, who has absolutely no idea who hired him and why.
All in all an OK movie, not as humorous as I expected though in fact the only real laughable part was Daniel Craig's awful accent. If you like murder mysteries then I'm sure you'll like this.
