Good story telling and surely true to being different in the Land of Oz style (0 more)

Not your normal Dorothy

Good book, good read, women will like this book. Since I did not know, I will not spoil the surprise in it for anyone. This is not your average Dorothy, or Land of Oz. Quite a spin on it, or the underlying truth that is not so pretty to tell. Either way, a good read. Not enough either.

The storyline in general is very good and it stays true to real life when the scene is described as it's set primarily in Brighton, England. Peter James has a very good descriptive style with his work and it definitely shows with this story. (1 more)

This book is very gripping and it definitely keeps you engaged and wanting to read more.

The one thing that I'd comment on is the ending. It felt like it ended very abruptly to me in the way the main character is caught. (0 more)

Extremely dark, black comedy based on a true story

That scene woodchipper scene will haunt me for life.

Truth is definitely stranger than fiction. This extremely dark 'comedy' is now infamous in gallows humour. Without revealing everything, a woman is kidnapped by a psychotic conman and his slightly weedy partner for ransom. Her husband is in charge of gaining this ransom from his father-in-law, only for things to go very, very wrong.

It's a classic cult film, not for everyone. But if you loved 'In Bruges', this will be right up your street.

Wow, what can I say? I thoroughly enjoyed reading Lady Midnight. I felt for all of the characters, I had favorites who turned into less desirable characters towards the end. I thought I'd predicted who the killer was and then a sense of dread and realisation and I found myself flicking back to earlier parts of the story to cement what I now knew was true before Emma pieced it together herself. I can't wait to read the next installment! I'm especially looking forward to seeing how Kit and Ty interact with each other.

I saw this as part of a secret film festival so didn’t know much about it going in, I think I would have liked it just a bit more if I had known it was a true story at the beginning rather then at the end, I would have understood the point more. That said it was really well done and kept me fully engaged, and at the edge of my seat, for the entire movie. It was also really brutal start to finish so don’t think I’ll ever need a repeat viewing.
