Disappointing, John Hurt is the only good thing
What a ridiculous film. Apart from John Hurt, the film lacked any kind of substance but tried too hard to be clever. It consisted of several murders, with mathematical clues, leading to a big explosion that actually ended up being an anti-climax. I tend to avoid films with Elijah Wood for a reason.

A book destroyed a woman's life
A publisher tells how her writer's final novel destroys her life as she knows it. Magpie Murders is in two parts, the novel and the publisher's story. I read a lot of mystery novels and I can say I did not see this one coming.

Easy to read fictional story based on real murders commited at the same time as jack the ripper. focusing on three characters. The author depicts the seedier side of london with the opium dens and the prospect of fear and death around every corner. wonderfully atmospheric. can`t wait for the next book for the further adventures of Dr Bond

The two cases the women's murder club takes on this time include home fire murders and a missing Politian's son. One of the cases was well plotted and fun, while the other fizzled out before an improbable and unsupported end.
