La e faatafa ma e soso ese
I was completely ready to dismiss this film as a mindnumbing display of testosterone starring a trio of follicly-challenged Adonises. Mostly it turned out to be true. Idris Elba starred as Brixton, a half-machine mercenary charged with the retrieval of a dangerous virus. Dwayne Johnson plays Lucas Hobbs, a single dad special agent who uses his brawn to solve all of the world's problems. Jason Statham plays Deckard Shaw, a possibly quadruple agent he has changed sides so many times in his three movies. Deckard Shaw worked with Brixton undercover and almost killed him, then attempted to kill the car thieves from Fast and Furious until he joined the gang to solve the problems of the universe. Maybe Dom, Lucas, Deckard, Lettie, Owen, Mr Nobody, and the rest can hijack a space shuttle and battle intergalactic terrorists in the next chapter. But I digress... Deckard's sister Hattie working for MI-6 prevented Brixton from stealing the virus and is on the run from everyone. So, Hobbs and Shaw are recruited to find Hattie and save the planet before the virus is released. While the Tango and Cash routine is entertaining, witty reparte is not the series' strong suit and soon helicopters are chasing trucks, trucks are chasing motorcycles, motorcycles are chasing McLarens, and sports cars are chasing helicopters. The big lesson learned is that in order to save the world, the two greatest superspies who are not good at stealtiness have to work together and sacrifice their egos.

Debut that Grew on Me
Today is Brody Steele’s first day running The Red Herring, a mystery bookstore in Pleasant Valley, Maine. However, he’s not a reader. So what is he doing here? It’s a cover since Brody has just entered the Witness Protection Program after turning on his former motorcycle gang. Brody is sure he will find his new life too quiet. However, as he tries to settle into town, he begins to find questions. Is there danger lurking just below the surface?

I’m always looking for something different, so I was intrigued by the premise of this book when I first heard about it. It took a while for the story to get going, but once Brody started to realize something was wrong, I was hooked all the way until the climax. I enjoyed the character growth we saw in Brody, and I liked several other characters as well. I did think the writing could be a bit more polished. I also found a few things about the Witness Protection Program, as described here, a little hard to swallow. Then again, I haven’t done any research on it and instead learned everything I know about it from the TV show In Plain Sight, so I decided to sit back and enjoy the story, which I most certainly did. Despite the series name and book title, we do get more violence than in a typical cozy. Overall, I’m glad I gave the book a chance, and I’m curious to see where the series will go from here.

Are you into murder mysteries? Then look at Lauren Carr's books if you want a cold case to unpack and enjoy. Then her latest series, "Chris Matheson Cold Case Mystery," is an excellent series to get your fix or bite into.

My latest book, "Chris Crossed Murder," is filled to pack a punch from the very beginning of the book. Why would someone send a swat team after Chris Matheson and his daughter? Why do these family members think he is dead? We get twists and turns from the beginning of the book to every end.

The cold case starts to get hot, and Chris Matheson gets pulled into a hard case that he worked on nine years earlier. Who should be the text buddy that Chris Matheson gets? It starts with a dead body found with Chris Matheson's federal badge.

Every time I turned the page, I would try and guess, but we met the holiday gang. Who are they, and did they commit Sky Belmont murder? Who wants Chris dead? Is Dylan trying to figure out what Serra's stepfather is doing? Why? Dylan's parents wish to do something, or are they connected to Sky Belmont's murder?

There seem to be quite a few different murders going on. But who wants Chris dead, and why? The geezer squad is on it. There appears to be a romance in the air for a member and new family member named "Red"? This book set is on a winter night near Christmas.
