The original entry in 'The Fast and the Furious' franchise, this is a very different beast than it's later sequels (from around the 4th one, just called 'Fast and Furious') would become.

And, surprisingly, those later sequels are generally the better films.

I don't know, perhaps it's because I'm by no stretch of the imagination a gear head, but I do find this to be quite slow, incomprehensible, and largely missing the later hallmarks (I refer, of course, to the outlandish stunts) of those later movies, whilst also an extremely heavy debt of gratitude to the likes of 'Point Break' in the plot department.

What an absorbing read Dark Roads which kept me engaged.

This is a disturbing story of a highway littered with white crosses and 'missing' posters which is the hunting ground for a serial killer who prays on women who are unfortunate enough to find themselves alone on this particular stretch of road.

With great characters, a dark and claustrophobic setting and with great twists, this is an engaging read which, although, starts off a little slow, the atmosphere builds and builds to a very satisfying ending.

Thank you to Little, Brown Book Group UK and NetGalley for enabling me to read and share my thoughts of Dark Roads.
