Fabulous story with a killer cliffhanger ending!?
Fabulous story with a killer cliffhanger ending!? My first book by this author and I will SURELY be back for more! Greer is the sister of well-known millionaire and has never quite gotten over the "on who got away," Cav. Stood up by him three years ago, she has yet to let it go and after a huge drunken mistake that went viral, he shows up on her doorstep. No longer the maintenance man she met years ago in a coffee shot, he's one of the hottest and newest upcoming actors, feeling much more worthy of a woman like her. But there is something more.... something that he is keeping from her, the very reason he walked away from the one woman who he never forgot... Absolutely LOVED this book and will be impatiently waiting for the conclusion in Dirty Love!! HIGHLY recommended! one day read- didn't want to put it down!?

The Killer Calls
The Mean Season- is a great suspense thiller.

The plot: After reporting on the murder of a teenage girl, journalist Malcolm Anderson (Kurt Russell) is contacted by the killer (Richard Jordan) known as the "Numbers Murderer," who offers exclusive information about the deaths. With the cooperation of the police, who tape the killer's phone calls, Malcolm agrees and soon becomes famous. Jealous of the attention the journalist is receiving for his coverage, the Numbers Murderer kidnaps Malcolm's girlfriend, Christine (Mariel Hemingway).

The film was named after the term of the same name that refers to a pattern of weather that occurs in Florida during the late summer months. In order to achieve accuracy for the scenes that take place in the busy newsroom, the filmmakers used Miami Herald reporters as on-set consultants and extras and shot in the actual newsroom as opposed to recreating it on a soundstage.

Its a great crime thriller.

Great series
To my mind, this was a step down from the first series. While we get some well-deserved character development (Holden's mental issues and his reaction to being championed by the new chief; Tench's family issues and him being torn between family and work), the overall story felt like it dragged a little.
The profiling work was crammed into the first few episodes as the later ones focused on trying to catch the Atlanta child-killer. The portrayal of the case seemed very realistic, being long and drawn-out and having to wait for another body to turn up, but for a TV series it was a little dull. Given this is a weaving together of partly fictionalised versions of actual cases, some liberties could have been taken and more killer interviews added in, though I presume these are being saved for later series, of which I hope there are many.
