Suswatibasu (1703 KP) rated Broadchurch in TV
Aug 11, 2017
Class acting from David Tennant and Olivia Coleman (1 more)
The storylines are fantastic
Class series, a very good reason why it was adopted for American audiences
I devoured all three seasons of Broadchurch. It is beyond addictive and utterly gripping. The first two seasons hinge around the murder of a young boy, and how everyone becomes suspects around this tiny idyllic English town. While the third season is completely different, it does show some links to the previous seasons. The actors are incredible especially the grumpy senior detective David Tennant and the bubbly Olivia Coleman - the two are a match made in heaven.
Domonique (0 KP) rated If I Did It: Confessions of the Killer in Books
May 12, 2018
This was very...interesting. I know it was a work of fiction and not everything was true, including the murder as there still is no proof that O.J. did it, especially since he said he didn't, and I know the Goldman family fabricated some of that part. But it was interesting to read it from his perspective and to understand where he was coming from. It was certainly not a boring read, that's for sure. I feel sad for the Goldman family because they thought this would help bring him to justice, and it didn't have that desired outcome.

Good cast (1 more)
Good location
Underwhelming
I like a whodunit murder mystery and this had been on my list to see for a long time. It's not a film that gets shown on TV often but is on Sky cinema at present.
It has a rather silly plot of a serial killer around Oxford University who leaves clues a Maths professor and student try to solve. The scenes in and around Oxford University give it a nice setting. The lead characters are good actors but unfortunately they are let down by the final revelation about the murders. One for Whodunit fans only.

starwarsluvr (236 KP) rated Rage (The Marcy Series, #1) in Books
Jan 30, 2018
Wow this was a thrilling and edgy ride to be a part of. Amazing writing and characters. There is nightmares, murder, love interests, romance (and a sexy romance at that), intrique and so much more in this story. The writing makes me feel as if I was a part of this story with the characters. I felt as if I was in their lives and seeing it as it was happening. I love when a writer makes me feel like that. Linda did an amazing job with this first story in this series and I can't wait to see what happens next
Mark Halpern (153 KP) rated Atomic Blonde (2017) in Movies
Jan 26, 2018
Not as good as I hoped
A female MI6 agent is sent to Berlin to investigate a murder of a fellow agent and also to recover a stolen list of identities. From reviews before I ever saw this movie I got the impression that this was supposed to be the first female bond film. The story line was ok, the acting as good the stunts were good but the idea of the movie has been done and done better (Misiion Impossible 1). I am a big fan of Theron but the movie was just lacking that humph.
Fruit Bat (42 KP) rated Dead Bodies Do Tell Tales - A Jack the Ripper Novel in Books
Mar 1, 2018
Amanda Harvey Purse what can I say amazing I loved this book and I'm not just saying that.
The story line jumps between the years 1888 and 1889 the place London your hosts for this intriguing murder mystery are Mary Kelly the fifth Jack the Ripper victim and Thomas Dunn a writer and I'm not telling you any more because you really should read this book. There is so much I could tell but won't all you need to know is that Amanda has mixed alot facts relating to the Jack the Ripper case amongst fiction to create a great story.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2379 KP) rated Well-Offed in Vermont (Pret’ Near Perfect Mystery #1) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Stella and Nick Buckley have traded in life in New York City for a small town in Vermont. But when they arrive at their new home, they find a dead man in their well. Since they can't move in until the murder is solved, they dig in to catch the killer themselves. I enjoyed this debut, especially the main characters. Unfortunately, I felt the momentum in the beginning was slowed down by back story that could have been slipped in better later.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2379 KP) rated You've Got Murder (Turing Hopper, #1) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Turing Hopper is the first sentient Artificial Intelligence Personality. The only person who knows the truth is her creator, but when he goes missing, Turing does what she can to track him down, pulling in two additional humans to be her legs.
The creativity in this book is wonderful. Turing is such a human character you can't help but love her, and the author makes great use of the characters to tell an unique story. Definitely worth tracking down.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2379 KP) rated The Flaming Luau of Death (Madeline Bean, #7) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Madeline and Wes are throwing a destination bachelorette party for their assistant Holly. A weekend in Hawaii sounds wonderful. However, trouble starts before they even leave LA when they find out Holly might not be single. Then a murder in Hawaii leads Madeline to start investigating what is happening. The change of destination is fun, the characters are still strong, and the plot is great.
I just wish this weren't the last in the series.
