Good story line that at the end was quite unexpected. I like how it switches from different characters to give different views on situations and is not in chronological order (0 more)
I felt that the story was a bit slow to get going and did start to wonder why people were raving about it as it seemed very bland (0 more)
Book review
Overall i really enjoyed this book. It throws many curveballs to the plot and I did not expect the ending. It combines murder mystery, crime drama, romance,mystery and much more. Very cleverly written in the way it is not written in chronological order and how the characters dont seem to be united in anyway at the start but slowing the ball unravels.

Great cast (0 more)
Not as much humour as I was expecting (1 more)
Craig's accent at times
Fun whodunit?
A fun quirky Whodunit? with a big cast and dash of humour, along with some red herrings. Make this an enjoyable film for those who like a murder mystery.
It was a little light on the humour side overall, so not as much of a comedy as I thought it would be. As for the Whodunit side of things the family members all have their motives but from quite early on there isn't a great deal of mystery in the plot. It finishes strongly thankfully with a typical drawing room summing up.
Overall a fun film for fans of the genre without really testing the grey cells of many sleuth viewers.

Dont Say Her Name
Dead Silence- is a really good psychological horror mystery and the twist at the end was out of nowhere and i had to watch it again cause it was that good. James Wan and Leigh Whannell did a excellent job with this film.

The plot: After his wife meets a grisly end, Jamie Ashen (Ryan Kwanten) returns to their creepy hometown of Ravens Fair to unravel the mystery of her murder. Once there, he discovers the legend of Mary Shaw (Joan Heney), a murdered ventriloquist whose eerie presence still looms over the town. As he desperately digs for answers, Jamie encounters the curse that took his wife's life and threatens his own.

I highly recordmend it.

Sabbatical with Murder
Lila Maclean has been taking a fall semester sabbatical, staying with family friend Bibi Callahan while finishing up her book on mystery author Isabella Dare. She’s become friends with the people in Bibi’s life, so she is delighted to join them one night for a book discussion of the first Isabella Dare mystery. The night, which starts as fun and laughs, ends in tragedy when one of the women is murdered. Bibi asks Lila to figure out what is going on, but the present seems to be fed by secrets from the past. Which one of them lead to murder?

After the way the previous book in the series ended, I couldn’t wait to dive in and see what would happen next. I was well rewarded. The mystery starts quickly and is strong with some twists I didn’t expect and a logical climax. The timeline was a bit squishy, but it didn’t impact the story itself – this is just a personal pet peeve. The characters are strong, making us care about the story and the outcome. A sub-plot involving Lila’s personal life felt a bit rushed, but I still liked how it ended. This book is set during the Christmas season, and those elements added a fun, festive nature to the story. The charming characters and engrossing plot made the pages fly by all too quickly.
