Lauren Carr has brought you another thriller of a story. A Fine Year for Murder is a doozy of a mystery and gut wrenching. No has any ideas that Jessica as seen a family be murdered. When Dallas Walker start talking about a case that see is investing the case called Pine Creek Massacre.

I loved the story and the way it was laid out. Jessica is dealing with nightmares, and things get more intense when something happens to young girls. What is triggering her nightmares? It a book you can not put down once you start to read it. All of Lauren Carr books are like that. She makes you want more and leaves to read her next book.

Hard to see past the moustache

Nice-looking and competent new version of the Agatha Christie classic, made in the traditional all-star manner. A bit hard to be gripped by the actual murder-mystery plot, but maybe that's because the twist in this story is so famous it barely qualifies as such any more.

Often looks more like a commercial for a luxury railway touring holiday than an actual thriller, but I suppose the production values are part of the appeal of this sort of film. Ken Branagh is arguably just a little bit hammy as a version of Poirot who appears to have some form of ASD, but he has a certain moral authority. Probably won't rock your world but passes the time nicely enough.

Promising plot, badly executed

I very badly wanted to like this book, but it was such a struggle. The plot is very promising and intriguing and I was expecting some sort of crime mystery or thriller, but instead of that it was more of an emotional book about mental health. Whilst I have no issue with that, I found main character Jen to be a little frustrating after a while and around half way through the book I was getting very bored. It didn’t feel like the story was getting anywhere quickly and when it did finally reach the end, it was a bit of a disappointment as it was exactly what you could’ve predicted right from the start. Sadly not my kind of story.
