Mark Halpern (153 KP) rated Pulp Fiction (1994) in Movies
Jan 22, 2018
One of Tarantino's best
The lives of Two Thugs, A mobsters wife, A boxer, two thieves and a messed up cop into severe S&M are put on display is this multi out of sequence scene movie with an amazing soundtrack. We see death, love, desception, greed and plain old murder in this high speed movie. If you miss one part of any story than you will be truly lost like with almost many Tarantino movies plot ans story is everything.
This movie brought John Travolta back to life and rebooted his career.

Paranormal activity and a good true crime
And That's Why We Drink is a podcast hosted by Kristina, Em, and Geio the Dog. Em gives a paranormal (usually hauntings) story, while Kristina recounts a true crime story. Together they make the beginning of each week a little less dreadful. On the first of each month there is a "Listener's Stories" episode, which as the name implies, includes the stories that listener send in, whether paranormal, murder, or both. Each week has new and interesting stories for fans of both genres.
As the title suggest, the book is the true account of the activities of medical pathologist Dr. Simeon and his secretary Molly Lefebure (who is also the author of the book) ,during the Second World War . The book describes several murder investigations during this time and it is interesting to see who ordinary crime did not stop simply because there was a war on.
Overall the book gives the reader a fascinating insight into forensics during WWII in England and is a definitely a must read for these with a interest forensics from this period.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2434 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 (2434 KP) rated Murder With Peacocks (Meg Langslow, #1) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Meg's summer as maid of honor in three weddings for three different demanding brides is complicated enough before a dead body shows up. And there's the attractive man in town for the summer as well.... This is a fun, enjoyable series debut with plenty of humor. However, the mystery gets side tracked by all the antics of the characters at time. Still, this does start a series I love to this day.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2434 KP) rated A Lie for a Lie (Ministry is Murder Mystery, #4) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Minister's wife Aggie Wilcox-Sloan gets roped into serving on the committee for the Emerald Springs Idyll, a local charity talent show to raise money for a hospital wing. But celebrity judge Grady Barber is a royal pain in the neck. Someone else agrees when they kill him. This book took too long to get to the murder, but once it did, things picked back up. And I absolutely love these characters.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2434 KP) rated Dating Dead Men in Books
Mar 9, 2018
A call from her brother sends Wollie off on a wild ride while she's in the middle of a dating project and trying to help her greeting card store take off. Has her brother really witnessed a murder? Or is it his paranoid schizorenia acting up again? A twisty novel with great characters. Just pay attention at the beginning because a lot is thrown at you quickly.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2434 KP) rated Sprinkle with Murder (Cupcake Bakery Mystery, #1) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
When Mel is accused of murdering her best friend's fiancee, she has to set down her cupcake tins and start sleuthing to find the killer.
I've heard such praise for this series, and I didn't feel the debut quite lived up to the promise. However, I did find the plot good and the characters real. I enjoyed the book enough that I will continue on with the second in the series.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2434 KP) rated Run Afoul (Wiki Coffin Mysteries #3) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Wiki Coffin gets caught up in a murder just before the Exploration Expedition docks in Brazil in 1838. And once in the harbor, the expedition runs into his father, literally. This book got so bogged down in the history and historical detail that it forgot all about the mystery, which was actually pretty easy to solve. It's the third in a series, and disappointing after the first two.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2434 KP) rated Cream Puff Murder (Hannah Swensen, #11) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Hannah needs to lose weight, so she has joined Heavenly Bodies, the new gym at the mall. But one morning, she finds universally hated fitness instructor Ronnie Ward floating face down in the spa. It really is cruel to talk about losing weight in the middle of all the delicious recipes in the book. Not the strongest plot in the series, but fans will love spending time with their favorite characters.
