Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2516 KP) rated Bluffing is Murder in Books

Mar 9, 2018

While out for a run, Lauren finds the body of Charles Heard, a man she had publically argued with the previous day. Is local politics involved in his death? Or is something else in play?

The mystery in this one could have been stronger, but I did still enjoy the book. The plot was always moving forward, and the characters are great. Watching the growth between the books makes it even more interesting.

NOTE: I was sent an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.
SECOND NOTE: Tace Baker is actually a pen name for Edith Maxwell and no relation to me.

Very interesting backdrop Side characters and monster designs

The Legend of Zelda Mario Style

Link crashes on a foreign Island meets up with a lot of really zany characters and has to wake up a magical fish God that's trapped inside of an egg on top of a mountain by collecting 8 different magical instruments

Pretty crazy story even for a Zelda game my favorite thing about this game is the very imaginative ideas put into it everything from the creatures to the mini-games to the characters to the backdrops it just has a lot of personality and uniqueness put into it

Read in one sitting!? Kristy has done it again... beautiful, moving, painful, heartbreaking, sexy.. there are just not enough words to describe the feelings when reading this book. Touching on very intense and personal subjects, she handles it beautifully. The pain, torment and fear that Haddie deals with shows you a new side to this crazy and full of life character, who is so weighed down by her fears and wanting to protect those she loves, yet she just can't admit how much she needs them too. Then, of course, there are some Rylee and Colton appearances, which is like seeing old friends. Can't say enough how much I loved this book... I cried, I laughed... wow, Kristy, just WOW!?

Great story. (1 more)

Love the angle it took.

I wish there were alternate choices the viewer could make. (0 more)

Instantly fell in love with this movie.

An amazing story that misleads you by showing you a group of guys getting ready for work in an underground environment, complete with light humor. Moving on we have a group of friends getting ready to embark on their summer break, however, something is a foot as you are shown a team tracking the friends for an unknown reason.

I love this movie because it answers questions that hardly any movie tends to even come close to touching. To me this movie could be limitless, as long as the creative team doesn't get lazy.

WATCH THE MOVIE!

Thank you.

A powerful story

I'm a little divided about this film. On the one hand it's a very powerful and moving story with some rather brutal and shocking scenes, and a very relevant and important true story to tell. However it's also not executed to the best it could be.

It starts off fairly slowly and aside from some stand out scenes, the film very rarely picks up. The acting is good but for me there was nothing outstanding from anyone (and Nicole Kidman's unmoving face still disturbs me). And the ending whilst heartwarming in a way feels like a bit of an anti climax. This is an interesting and slightly disturbing story that is quite good, I just wish that it had been better executed.
