Loved this book! It has everything you could want from a thriller; fast paced, excellent story line, brilliant characters and great setting. Scarily, in the world in which we live, I can see this not being beyond the realms of reality!! Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for my copy in return for an honest and unbiased review.

BookCritics (259 KP) rated The Secrets She Keeps in Books
Jul 11, 2017
THE SECRETS SHE KEEPS is tense, immersive, and emotional—a perfect blend of commercial thriller appeal and the kind of rich character development and masterful plotting that's simply hard to find.

Tommy Lee Jones reprises his role from The Fugitive (1 more)
Good all round cast
Entertaining Action/Thriller
A decent sequel of sorts to @The Fugitive (1993) as the same group of US Marshals track down another man on the run. It's not as indepth as as the first film, but if you enjoyed that you should like this.

Multi-layered Crime Thriller
A cool British gangster flick as some low end criminals get in way over their head. It's interesting the way the story unravels and it is well made. If you like Snatch, @Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1999) you should enjoy this to. Although this has less humour than those two films.

Good genre blender
A decent Horror, Thriller mash up as a group of kidnappers get more than they bargained for. For a low budget film the effects are OK, the story is good with a decent twist. If you don't mind something off the main stream for your horror thrills then check this out.

Hmmm, its Blake Lively and that's usually enough for me, this one however is a snappy short shark thriller that has moments that just prove to be improbable with a shark that's a bit of a stalker..who could blame him, not a great film but short enough to forgive its shortcomings and did I mention Blake...

Easy read (1 more)
Good pace
Compelling thriller
Debut novel by Indie author that captures contemporary life in The Washington DC area as a relatable backdrop to a compelling suspense mystery. Scientists manipulate pregnancy to be Seven months instead of nine and a cub reporter stumbles it into the story when two dumpster babies are found in a restaurant dumpster.
I know, I know, I'm complaining about the courtroom scenes in a legal thriller, but they really seemed to slow down the pace of the story late in the second half. Overall, I did enjoy the book, however.

Dean (6927 KP) rated The Invasion (2007) in Movies
Feb 17, 2018
Another interpretation of Invasion of the body snatchers. This was an ok thriller, well made with a good cast. It just lacks any real punch, it's not tense, gripping or scary in any way. A missed opportunity really. I'd recommend The Faculty instead as that is a much more fun film, also influenced by the body snatchers.
