Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2398 KP) rated Shadows on the Sand (Seaside Mysteries) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Just as Carrie and Greg might be ready to start a relationship, danger comes to their resort town. First the dishwasher in Carrie's restaurant is murdered, then her waitress starts acting strangely. What's going on? This is more romantic suspense than a true mystery, but I found the story compelling and the climax very suspenseful.

This is really well done with a great amount of suspense and mystery. The cast is great, but the actor playing Assane steals the show. His presence and delivery in each scene is fantastic. It's only two seasons, but it's great. I just wish it had wrapped things up a little better because it's kind of on a cliffhanger. Maybe we'll get another season, but who knows? Either way, it's a show I'm glad I checked out.

Slow built up suspense with a great ending
Don’t be overwhelmed by the substantial amount of characters in this book. Some are just stand by, you’ll want to focus on: Francie, Colette, Nell, and Winnie. (Maybe Token on the side but he’s more a supportive role) it may seem haphazard and all over the place which is why it’s best to just focus on these four moms.
The chapters switch from different points of view and there’s that one lone chapter that’s presented in first person. It’s a mystery as to who that is until much later, but it certainly does keep you guessing on who that person could be. It may seem obvious at first and during the reading you feel so sure you know who that is and what’s behind the entire story but the blind side moment comes fast in the last few chapters and you’re left with a shock.
The plot slowly builds to a good mystery and suspense. The thrilling bits get you at the end. It’s a satisfying read, the characters grate on you (Francie and Nell are the ones I disliked the most), but it’s the suspense and the ‘keeping you guessing’ bits that get the reading going.
So although it may seem like it’s all over the place, give the book a chance and read. It’s well worth it with the superb ending.

Fire Unleashed
Backdraft- is a good movie, that has suspense, drama, action, thrills, mystery and a great cast.
The plot: Chicago firefighting brothers Stephen (Kurt Russell) and Brian (William Baldwin) have been rivals since childhood. Brian, struggling to prove himself, transfers to the arson unit. There he aids Don (Robert De Niro) in his investigation into a spate of fires involving oxygen-induced infernos called backdrafts. But when a conspiracy implicating a crooked politician and an arsonist leads Brian back to Stephen, he is forced to overcome his brotherly competitiveness in order to crack the case.
Like i said before the cast is really good, the drama and suspense is really good and its directed by Ron Howard.
I would recordmend this film.

The movie that started it all
This is the movie that started the Mission Impossible franchise so it had to have done something right. Right?
You would be absolutely right. This film is suspense, mystery and action all rolled into one. Some of the effects may not have aged the best, but this film can still hold its own with many of the great action films. I will watch this movie again and again to watch just how great it is.
