A thriller I never got around to seeing back at the time. It starts well enough with 2 young kids going to live with their guardians after their parents are in an accident. Although are their guardians as nice as they think they are? It starts to unravel quite well with new bits of information being discovered, quite an intricate web of deceit. Just as it all builds up towards the finale it has an ending that feels rather rushed and not fitting the rest of the film. Could have been better. Currently on Amazon prime.

A gripping thriller and considering it incorporates a lot of my usually least favorite themes (missing kid, unfaithful partners...) it speaks a lot to how good a writer Hillier is. that I bombed through this once I started it.

The lives of the rich and stylish often grate but I was fully in for celebrity hair stylish Marin's turbulent existence following the abduction of her young son.

This book went in unexpected directions and despite some eyebrow-raising coincidences kept me on board for the whole journey.

Many thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for the copy.

Disclosure- is a good erotic thriller. Micheal Douglas, Demi Moore and Donald Sutherland are all good.

The plot: In this Michael Crichton adaptation, Tom Sanders (Michael Douglas) is a senior executive at a cutting-edge technology corporation on the verge of releasing an innovative new product. Sanders' boss, Bob Galvin (Donald Sutherland), is putting the final touches on a potentially lucrative merger and everything is in order for Tom until a vamp from his past, Meredith Johnson (Demi Moore), swoops in, stealing his impending promotion and then -- doubling down -- suing him for sexual harassment.

Like i said its good.

Greed Is Good
Wall Street- is a good drama thriller. It has a good cast and director.

The plot: On the Wall Street of the 1980s, Bud Fox (Charlie Sheen) is a stockbroker full of ambition, doing whatever he can to make his way to the top.

As Fox becomes embroiled in greed and underhanded schemes, his decisions eventually threaten the livelihood of his scrupulous father (Martin Sheen). Faced with this dilemma, Fox questions his loyalties.

I do recordmend watching it.

Speak
Dont Say a Word- is a really good suspense thriller.

The plot: Ruthless crook Patrick Koster (Sean Bean) and his partner capture young Jessie Conrad (Skye McCole Bartusiak) and hold her for an unusual ransom. Koster wants Jessie's therapist father, Nathan (Michael Douglas), to somehow coax traumatized teen Elisabeth (Brittany Murphy) into divulging a mysterious code number that will lead the criminals to a hidden jewel worth a fortune. Unfortunately, it may be impossible to convince the delusional Elisabeth to cooperate: she hasn't spoken in 10 years.

Its a really good film, highly recordmend it.
  
Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du commerce, 1080 Bruxelles (1975)

Movie Favorite

"I first saw this movie on a third-generation bootleg without subtitles while I was making my first real movie, Modern Love Is Automatic. It changed the way I made that movie (there were pickup shots in Modern Love that were slated “Jeanne Dielman, take 1”) and the way I thought about movies, art, and time in general. This movie never gets enough credit for how funny and tense it is—it’s equal parts scathing satire and deconstruction/reinvention of the Hitchcockian thriller. Film financiers of the world, give all your money to twentysomething Belgian women."

Kept at the edge of your seat
What an amazing book! Dark,clever and thrilling! My favourite read of 2020
I read this book not realising that it was part of a series but I felt like if you didn't want to read the books in order than you don't have to.

The story lines are different but same characters are used.

The chapters are short, but captivating

This book was an amazing read and I can't wait to read more of Cavanaghs books as he is now my favourite author.

I recommend if you love a good, dark thriller
