Watched last night on paramount plus as I've never seen the first orphan film which intend to when I get back to the UK this weekend. Anyway the film its not that bad a film for a prequel without a doubt isabelle fuhrmann is the star of the films the fact that the film makers can somehow get her again to play a ten year old now she's in her 20s is remarkable and then there's Julia stiles as the unsuspecting mother who doesn't that Esther isn't her Esther is also good . Plus there's a twist halfway thru the movie didn't see coming anyway got to find the orignal orphan and watch it

Yet another gripping read by Helen Fields and one I very much enjoyed

It has everything - a gruesome murder, an isolated creepy location, serial killers, twists, turns, action and fantastic characters all wrapped up in an excellent story that was hard to stop reading even the parts that were quite gruesome.

Dr Connie and her partner, Baarda, are a great team and I would really like to read more about their work together - if there are more stories in the pipeline ... sign me up!

A very tense and riveting read that I highly recommend and thank you Avon Books UK and NetGalley for enabling be to read and share my thoughts of The Institution.

I really enjoy Cara Hunter's Adam Fawley series so was eager to read this, a standalone thriller but, unfortunately, whilst I enjoyed the story, I liked the characters (although not many were likeable!) and I really enjoyed the mystery of who did the deed, I wasn't overly keen on the writing format which I found quickly became tedious due to the scene setting rather than focusing on the actual story.

Despite my misgivings on the style, I did like the twists and turns and, like I said, overall I enjoyed it and I thank HarperCollins UK, Harperfiction and NetGalley for enabling me to read and share my thoughts of Murder in the Family.
