Great cat & mouse Thriller
I really enjoyed this despite the fact it seemed to go straight to DVD. It has a well known cast including LL Cool J, Val Kilmer and Christian Slater. It has good production values as well.
A team of Fbi profilers are at a remote location under going a training selection when they start getting bumped off one by one. It has ideas from And then there were none and even some death traps like the Saw films. Well worth checking out if any of that appeals. Similar to @D-Tox (Eye See You) (2002) as well.

So I chose this book by Peruvian author Gustavo Faveron Patriau who wrote this mystery horror novel set in South America.

I am a sucker for a good mystery book and the more mind-boggling the better. However, if I figure out "whodunit", then for me, the story loses all its charm. This book kept me guessing throughout.

This book is all about an antique book collector called Daniel who stabbed his wife Juliana for some unknown reason and now his friend (also called Gustavo) is trying to solve the mystery.

A very good second film in the trilogy. It doesn't quite reach the levels of the first, but that was an outstanding film. Where the first was a bit more dramatic in story along the lines of a whodunit? mystery, this is a bit more like an action/thriller with a conspiracy plot. Lisbeth has been set up as the main suspect in 3 murders and is on the run to prove her innocence. We find out a bit more back story to her character in this which is good to see. I can't wait to see the last one in this set of great thrillers!

Interesting & fast paced
This is a fairly interesting and fast paced thriller that really gets you hooked from the very start. The plot has an intriguing premise and is an entertaining whodunit. It's well written and the characters are well developed, my issue is that I can't say many of the characters are hugely likeable. The story itself takes a while to get going, but then the ending comes round far too quickly and is very much an anti climax. It's a little disappointing and some of the intended surprises aren't really as shocking as the author would like us think.

It's a good thriller and worth it just for a quick read.

A cracking Swedish whodunit/thriller. I have heard great things about the books so thought I would give this a go. The DVD has the option of subtitles or English Audio, I went for the audio as I was a little tired. Thankfully not one of those films where the dubbing appears totally out of sync and distracts you. It takes a little while to get going but the last hour or more is brilliant. Very brutal and violent at times to, but this is up there with the best thrillers around!! Very surprised an English version is being made just next year? Going to be near impossible to better this in any way??
