Oompa Loompas with snarky little songs, Veruca Salt and her 'special' song involving the Egg-dicator, the candy garden, the Hsawaknow (it's Wonkawash spelled backward LOL), the candy store owner, and the elevator that goes everywhere. (0 more)
The boat ride, which is quite unsettling! The Fizzy Lifting Drinks. (0 more)
Mostly good, a little bad, and some distinctly ugly...
This is, overall, a very good movie. It's a little bit jarring now to see how over the top some of the behavior is, but it's fun and the effects are very impressive in many parts, like the Wonkawash scene and the little room with the piano that I still haven't figured out how they accomplished.

Sometimes it seems as if they go out of their way to make sure we know how poor Charley is, and how much better off everyone else is, and how spoiled and entitled they are. It works, especially with the Oompa Loompas to point out how absurd their behavior is, but sometimes it just seems kind of much.

The road to the ending is hard, but well worth it.

Thank you to the author for a copy of this book in exchange for my review.

Detective Scarlett Fry is taking a much needed vacation with her husband in Spain, but she just can't seem to escape work. When two dead bodies are discovered in the room across from hers, she has to find out what happened. But this isn't her jurisdiction, so she continues her vacation, but it's hard to get it out of her mind. Upon returning home, she gets a case of a murdered man and a missing family. Ironically her case at home and the murders in Spain are connected. Will she be able to find the killer or killers and will she be able to find the missing family?

This is the first book I have read by Dominique L. Watson, but I will definitely read more. I'm really looking forward to reading Murder for Justice, which is the first Scarlett Fry book. I devoured this book in a few days.

Detective Scarlett Fry can't seem to get a break. Even on vacation, as a homicide detective, work seem to fall at her feet. Or right across the hall from her hotel room in Spain. She could never imagine that thousands of miles away in her jurisdiction, a murder was taking place there as well. And a kidnapping. I was on the edge of my seat as Fry traveled the southwest part of the country from San Diego, California to small town Arizona hunting the killer. Twists and turns all along the way make this book very hard to put down. I highly recommend this book for anyone looking for a great fast paced thriller.

Lana Finds Herself Delivering Death
Lana Lee has landed back at her parents’ Chinese restaurant as a waitress in an effort to get her life back together. She thinks she’s hit rock bottom, but she’s wrong. Not too long after delivering Mr. Feng his usual order of dumplings, the man is found dead. Somehow, he got shellfish dumplings instead of the pork he ordered. With the police looking at everyone at the restaurant, Lana starts poking around to clear herself and the rest of the employees. But is one of them really guilty?

This was a very fun debut. The mystery is good, although the pacing does lag a bit in the middle. It does pick up again in the final third, giving us some great twists and turns before we reach the logical climax. The characters are mostly strong, which some room to grow as the series progresses. I did feel that Lana’s mother was the weakest characters, and I hope she is fleshed out more as the series progresses. I will definitely be back for seconds.
