Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Winter (Four Seasons, #1) in Books

Jan 11, 2021

4.25 stars.

I was dragged in from pretty much the first chapter, where they lock eyes after he gets out of the cop car. You could tell that something big had happened. I could tell from pretty early on that Luke had feelings for Avery and it was these scenes that had me so invested in this story. The sex scenes were so... full of emotions, in my view. I pretty much read for the romances and this was so compelling.

I'll admit I was intrigued about the other half of the story, the murder and all that, but I wasn't quite convinced by the why of it in the end. Why would you group together to do something like that and why all young girls? That bit wasn't explained in my opinion.

Nevertheless, I enjoyed this--mainly due to Luke--and I look forward to reading more of this series.

Dark Thriller

An exhilarating thriller that switched from the perspective of News Correspondent Anna and her ex a DCI. They are both covering / investigating a death that strikes a little too close to their past.

The other voice of the murder is pretty disturbingly portrayed in the audiobook but once you get used to it its an exciting and twisty tale with a lot of disturbing moments. I lost my download of the audiobook somehow halfway through but luckily had an ebook copy I jumped straight int to finish and the memory of the creepy voice followed me.....

I kept thinking I knew what was going on but the strong and twisty writing of Alice Feeney kept me on my toes and left me satisfied all the way. This has everything I want from a dark thriller, disturbing but gripping.

Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for my copy.

Daniel Craig's awful fake accent (0 more)

Not bad

When I first put this movie on to watch I very nearly almost gave up with it. It starts with an annoyingly long interview with each family member to try and ascertain what happened with millionaire Harlan thrombie, which to be honest I found long winded and boring. The rest of the movie was good though and we learn why and how he died quite early on. The rest of the movie is the culprit trying not to get caught whilst working alongside the detective working on the case, who has absolutely no idea who hired him and why.
All in all an OK movie, not as humorous as I expected though in fact the only real laughable part was Daniel Craig's awful accent. If you like murder mysteries then I'm sure you'll like this.
