Lindsay (1760 KP) rated Case File Phantom: Phantom in Books
Feb 8, 2018
Book Tour: Case File Phantom The author did a good job with the plot. It more about PI then the woman we first meet at the theater. It, her missing husband that has more mysteries. Constance McCauley finds some connections between Alex and his foster parents and also his parents.
The title has a good title for that it fits it perfectly. What making Alex run? What really happened to make him run. Can Constance McCauley and her assistant Tony get the answers to this case? There are some surprises though some of the book.

Before there was Toretto, there was Riddick.
One for the old-dark-house/monsters-from-outer-space lovers :)
A passanger ship crash-lands on a supposedly colonised planet. The inhabitants are all mysteriously missing. Turns out there are other inhabitants on the planet, no one knew about.
Ship's passengers find themselves suddenly dependant on the nasty mass-murderer previously chained up in the hold.
Nothing earth-shatteringly original here, but it's good creepy entertainment delivered well.
And Riddicks eyes are waaaayyy cooler than anything F & F served up 😆

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2355 KP) rated Diamonds for the Dead in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Josh Handleman has returned home to bury his father. But he's barely arrived when he starts hearing rumors that his father was murdered and that he owned a bunch of diamonds. The diamonds are now missing. Were they why he died? This is a very atmospheric story with wonderful writing. The story was a bit slow to get going, but once it did, I was completely hooked.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2355 KP) rated Bundle of Trouble (A Maternal Instincts Mystery, #1) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Just as she is going into labor, Kate Connolly learns her brother-in-law, George, is missing and may be a murder victim. While trying to juggle becoming a mother, Kate also tries to learn what is really going on with George. I found the scenes between mother and baby heart warming and the plot intriguing. I didn't want to put it down, and can't wait to read the next one.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2355 KP) rated Slay It with Flowers (A Flower Shop Mystery, #2) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Florist Abby Knight is not only in her cousin's wedding, but she's providing the flowers. So she has a vested interest in making sure it goes off without a hitch. Unfortunately, one of the groomsmen goes missing. Can she find him? This is a light but fun book. Most of the characters are a bit flat, but I love Abby. And the plot and humor kept me entertained.

Mix of crime mystery and supernatural
Atmospheric Thriller with a disappointing ending
A 6 part thriller on the BBC that starts very well, but sadly the ending was a let down. A good haunted house vibe mixed with a crime story of a missing child from 23 years ago. The first 4 episodes were fine and some of the plot reveals were good. Unfortunately the supernatural element to it and the vague ending will no doubt annoy many people. It's ok overall but could have been great with a better finish.
Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2355 KP) rated The Family Way (Molly Murphy, #12) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Molly is visiting her mother-in-law to try to escape the heat when she starts on the trail of a missing Irish immigrant. Can Molly find her, or will her pregnancy keep her home and safe? The plot was uneven, although it got better as the book progressed. And I am really tired of the usual conflict with Molly's now husband Daniel. Please, give him something else to do in the books!

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2355 KP) rated The Curse of the Holy Pail (An Odelia Grey Mystery, #2) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Paralegal Odelia Grey is stunned when one of her firm's clients dies hours after Odelia visits him on business. She quickly learns that the crown jewel of his antique lunch box collection is missing. Was that the motive for the murder or is something else happening? I loved the book. The characters were real and the plot kept me guessing from one page to the next. The ending was also emotionally satisfying.

Cheryl (6 KP) rated Amazon Kindle in Apps
Jul 2, 2018
I absolutely love the kindle app. I have it on my phone and I also have a kindle. I can buy books on my kindle and they will instantly sync to my phone. If I read on one device I can instantly pick up on another. However, I don’t like that I can’t buy books on my phone, I end up saving books and either forgetting and missing deals or forgetting altogether
