Stalking a Fire
It’s been a few months since we last checked in on State Trooper Jim Duncan and Assistant Public Defender Sally Castle. In that time, things have been awkward between them. But first Jim is called to the scene of a fire. Was the dead body inside an accidental victim? Who even was he? Then Sally starts getting creepy notes. Does she have a stalker?

This book does a good job of building on the first book but without any spoilers. It’s nice to watch Jim and Sally continue to build their relationship. I love them and the other characters we are getting to know. One of the storylines was stronger than the other, but both kept me engaged with plenty happening, good suspects, and a climax that kept me turning pages. While this isn’t a cozy, the violence and language is kept to a minimum. I’m hoping I can get to the next book soon.

Unsane (2018)
2018 | Drama, Horror, Thriller
I use my phone for making phone calls and as an alarm clock, but Steven Soderbergh has started using his to make feature films, which if you ask me is just showing off. Unsane is just such a movie, a typically polished piece of genre entertainment. Slightly damaged young woman seeks psychiatric support, finds herself incarcerated in a mental institution against her will. Is she hallucinating the presence of her former stalker, or are things even worse than they seem...?

Apart from Soderbergh's usual breezy skill as a film-maker, the best reason to see Unsane is Claire Foy's excellent performance, which really carries the whole movie (though she is well-supported by Amy Irving, Juno Temple and others, and there's a great cameo from Matt Damon too). The opening sequence of the film is also impressive in its finely-judged ambiguity. However, the film tips its hand much too soon and quickly becomes monumentally implausible (to the point of absolute absurdity). Worth watching, but you really, really have to cut the film some slack in the plotting department.
