I’m slowly starting to get addicted to these books, I enjoyed Roy’s trip to Munich, I feel like after this trip he’s finally made up his mind about sandy and Cleo atlast!
Cannot wait to read the one that reveals what’s happened to sandy, the anticipation is killing me ha!

Love this murder mystery how can someone be in the same place twice... Roy and his copper nose will work it out

The characters are building up more and more as the books go one, it’s nice to understand Cleo and Glenn more.

Utterly absorbing

Amazingly, Disturbingly, Darkly Delightful

A fabulously dark audio play, with brilliant actors and sound effects. Absorbing you in a disturbing series of 'recovered memories', which is married to a great storyline, all of which intertwine into an amazing tale of insane corporate malice, murder, satanism, anthropophagy, torture, sadism, and greed.
Dark, twisted, and in some places, truly disturbing, it's probably best not to listen to this right before bed. It is, however, pretty much a must listen for those who enjoy the darkest of dark fantasies.

I'm a huge Ballard fan, but this novel was hard to get through. The first part indicates that it's going to be a murder-mystery, with Charles Prentice, our main character, trying to prove that his brother didn't burn 5 people to death in a house.
Around 100 pages in, it peters out into another version of @High-Rise , only not as good. Though, while this was the case, the last 3 pages were strong, and when I reached the end, I almost wanted it to go on.

I received a copy of Murder From Scratch from Netgalley and the publisher.

I really enjoyed this book. My main issue is that all the food talk made me so hungry and as "issues" go that's not bad at all!

I really appreciate the writing of Evelyn. She's actually written as an adult with interests and not as a tall child who brings light to able-bodied folx.

I liked the mystery a lot. The way it was set up as an "obvious" suicide but a family member knows what's up? Definitely my thing!

A fun time, once it gets going

A comedy/mystery in the vein of Clue or Murder By Death, this film takes a while to get going. The jokes at the beginning are few & weak, but as it goes on, they get more plentiful & funnier. I found myself laughing out loud more than a few times. Everyone in the film is great & those who hate Adam Sandler will find him tolerable. The story is well enough & there's a pretty damn good car chase too. It's worth a watch once, maybe twice.

Erika (17789 KP) rated The Stranger Beside Me in Books

Jan 21, 2019

This is the quintessential book about Ted Bundy, written by a former co-worker and friend. Ann Rule worked one of the later shifts at a suicide hotline, next to Ted. Rule was working with the police and everything to try to crack the Bundy murder cases. The book covers the motivation/what caused this to happen, i.e., an interesting childhood, rejection by women, etc. She was reserving judgment and thought of him as innocent for a while, which is very interesting to read about.
This is definitely a true crime book worth reading.
