Unsolvable cases

Since former Marine Jack Morgan started Private, it has become the world's most effective investigation firm--sought out by the famous and the powerful to discreetly handle their most intimate problems. Private's investigators are the smartest, the fastest, and the most technologically advanced in the world--and they always uncover the truth.

Impossible murders

When his former lover is found murdered in Jack Morgan's bed, he is instantly the number one suspect. While Jack is under police investigation, the mob strong-arms him into recovering $30 million in stolen pharmaceuticals for them. And the beautiful manager of a luxury hotel chain persuades him to quietly investigate a string of murders at her properties.

The #1 suspect is Jack Morgan

While Jack is fighting for his life, one of his most trusted colleagues threatens to leave Private, and Jack realizes he is confronting the cleverest and most powerful enemies ever. With more action, more intrigue, and more twists than ever before, PRIVATE #1 SUSPECT is James Patterson at his unstoppable best.

My view

Oh that was so much better than the last one. Back in the states with Jack on a murder charge, the mob pulling in favours and a movie star in trouble. It was well written and flowed brilliantly. I do like this series. Jack needs to sort that brother of his out for good soon having Colleen killed was one step to far! I have a strong dislike for Tommy!

**BOOK SYNOPSIS**
Amateur detectives Covey Jencks and JayJay Qualls are drawn into a triple murder on the campus of Baker College in West Waverly in the Texas Hill Country. Both end up taking positions at the college: Covey as an adjunct instructor and JayJay as a visiting actor.

Initially they believe that money is the motive for the murders, but over time they learn that the college is a cauldron of political and social intrigue. The college's new president and his beautiful wife, various staff members, a prominent trustee, and parties not associated with the college have the motives, opportunities, and wacky agendas that might implicate them in the murders. It turns out that a white nationalist group may be using a college house for its nefarious activities, but are they more talk than action?

The West Waverly police are little to no help in the investigation, and Covey himself has to depart the college to deal with his father's death. JayJay takes over and makes a critical breakthrough. Upon Covey's return, the couple must rely on deception, a bit of luck, and martial arts skills to solve the crimes and to try to prevent a high-profile assassination.

So I just watched the movie All Eyez on Me. The life of Tupac Shakur. The acting was amazing and the story line was right on key. Considering all the press recently about the murders of Shakur and Biggie this was the best I have seen. I do wish they went a little more into the feuds between east coast and west coast rap sensations the profile of Shug Knight was awesome. It was better than the character of him used in Straight out of Compton. I also love that they go into his time with the Digital Underground which really was his rise to stardom. All and all this movie I say this is a must see for Shakur fans and raps fans alike.

Gameplay

A disappointing addition to an excellent game.

"Murder from Above" is one of the poorest expansions of the Resident Evil 2 board game.

It adds very little to the actual gameplay, with only one additional scenario to add to the core game.

In the reasonably large cardboard box filled with non-recyclable plastic, there are only 5 small figures (Giant Moth and 4 Murders of Crows), 3 cards and a sheet of paper with the scenario on...that's it.

But it is also the cheapest expansion to the game costing around £10 compared to the larger expansions that cost £30-40 (but do add more to the game).

A good, but at the same time underwhelming addition.
