Suswatibasu (1703 KP) rated Deep Down Dead in Books

Fast-paced page turner, but a bit predictable
From the opening scene, this book hits the road running. Lori, a straight-talking bounty hunter, formerly a stripper, is focused solely on her daughter and keeping her safe. Her job is to bring in her former bounty hunter mentor JT, who slowly reveals the truth behind his arrest and the reason for him becoming a fugitive. It definitely depicts the darker side of the Sunshine State.
It's exciting to read but not a literary masterpiece as such and definitely predictable. The plot is light on surprises and depth, but it's an enjoyable page-turner.

A demented tragic inversion of The Road
When I first started reading this, I was expecting an apocalyptic type novel - which in some ways it was for the main character Peggy.
Her father, who should have protected her, took the young child down an extremely dark path in this novel concluding with the ultimate horror in its final climax.
If I mention the themes it will probably end up spoiling the story but it is not a traditional Armageddon plot.
A trigger warning is required with this tragic, terrible story so read with an open mind.

Wide variety of items at great prices
Dash buttons
Great service
Convenient
I love Amazon, especially as a Prime member! It is so nice to find a product I want and get it shipped without an additional cost. I initially thought Dash Buttons were a stupid idea, but my husband got one for toilet paper and laundry pods. It is so convenient to just stick them in a closet the hit the button when I realise we're running really low. I could go to the store down the road but the prices on Amazon are cheaper and for larger quantities.

A dead body has been found in the cemetery, but there's a weird note attached to it. Is it a crossword puzzle clue? If so, what does it mean? And can Cora, who doesn't actually write the crossword puzzle column that bears her name, figure it out? I enjoyed this series debut despite Cora's drinking, a vice she gives up a few books down the road. The word play more than made up for it to me.

Watched this movie on Netflix starring Tom Hardy(Mad Max:Fury Road). It takes place entirely in his car on a 90 minute ride. He's made a choice that cost him pretty much his whole life and it all happens during this ride. He really showed his acting chops in this one. Everything happens through a series of phone calls between him and several people in his life. Takes place in England. It's all done pretty well and, though it's an odd piece of work, it keeps your interest. Turns out a little sad but worth a watch.

Loved this series!! How can anyone NOT love Kellan Kyle!? Just the sweetest guy and the love he feels for Kiera is so apparent. I could totally relate to Kiera, I really loved her character and found her to be so much like myself. I loved watching the two of them grow together and was amazed at the level of trust they could find for each other in some of the most difficult situations. I laughing hysterically, loving the banter between the guys on the road, Griffin's mouth ;-) and then, of course, crying at every turn. I CAN'T WAIT to read Kellan's POV!!

A rare insight
I have always liked Mike Harding and this book gives a real insight not just into his childhood but also life in Manchester in the years that followed the second world war. Reading this made me laugh at the real life incidents but also made me ashamed and embarassed about what was happening under the publics nose. I look forward to the next book as this only covers up until he left school and started working for the road department. A good read and well worth the time :)
