Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2357 KP) rated Third Time's a Crime (A Love Or Money Mystery #3) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Georgia Thornton is back for a third round on a reality TV show – this time working with her boyfriend Scott to solve a cold case. The castle where this show is set is super spooky, but things get very scary when Georgia finds a dead body in the empty swimming pool. Even weirder, the victim drowned. What’s going on?
Between the reality TV show and the case, there is always something happening, although I did feel the other happenings overwhelmed the main mystery a bit at times. Still, the mystery builds to a logical conclusion. The author does a great job of helping us keep all the characters straight while growing Georgia, Scott, and some of the other series regulars. And the reality TV setting is just lots of fun.
NOTE: I received a copy of this book.

Great selection of TV and films (1 more)
Can download programmes
I have lost count of the amount of series I have binge watched on Netflix now.
I initially was just just going to use the one month free so I would be able to finish watching The Originals but, low and behold, almost two years in I'm still watching.
The selection of TV shows and films are great. They're often things I've meant to watch but haven't had a chance to yet but there they are.
Downloading programmes for on the go is definitely a plus. I like to have a few in my tablet in case I get stuck anywhere or the Internet where I'm staying isn't the greatest.
Only drawback is sometimes Netflix forgets exactly where you were in a programme of you switch between devices (start watching on the tablet and then resume on the TV later). It's such a trivial complaint however that it hasn't put me off.

Shaun Collins (3 KP) rated Doctor Who: The Twelfth Doctor Volume 3 - Hyperion in Books
Jan 12, 2018
Robbie Morrison continues to nail the 12th Doctor and Clara, not in big sweeping ways, but in the small intimate dialogue they share. But the stories here are big and sweeping, RTD era Who. (Which ironically serves as a problem for the line since it has to shadow the current TV series run. hard to come back from a near extinction level event.)
Good artwork, fine story telling. Cant wait to continue the line...

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2357 KP) rated Mr. Monk and The Blue Flu (Mr. Monk, #3) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
The third in the tie-in series finds Monk filling in as homicide captain while the department is on strike. Yet his "team" is worse off then he is. Good mystery with some very funny scenes. Recommended either way, but most definitely recommended for fans of the TV show.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2357 KP) rated Mr. Monk and The Two Assistants (Mr. Monk, #4) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
The fourth of the Monk tie-in novels answers the question, What would happen is Sharona returned? His former assistant accidentally comes back into his life after her husband is arrested for murder. At Natalie's urging, Monk begins to look into it the case. This is another fun entry and will please fans of the TV series.

A worthy adaptation of an excellent comic
A really enjoyable, filthy, dark and funny series. Some excellent portrayals of really twisted characters and a great real world take on what would happen if superheroes were real. A number of liberties were taken (Hughie not being Scottish for one, Karl Urban's accent for another) but all in all a really brilliant TV show that ended too soon, but clearly has so much more to come.
