Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2206 KP) rated You Have the Right to Remain Puzzled (Puzzle Lady #8) in Books

Mar 9, 2018

The Puzzle Lady is back and dealing with stolen chairs, charges of plagiarism, and being framed for murder. And to think she was complaining about being bored. I was impressed with how everything was tied together in the end. My only real complaint here was that the witty banter between characters I normally love had too much of an angry tent to it for the first half of the book. Still, there were plenty of laughs. Now, if only Dennis would die soon I'd really be happy.

(So a family of four heroes, working for a secret evil genius, who they personally know? Are we sure this isn't a MARVEL movie?)

A British film that actually got recognition (0 more)

Poor Milky (0 more)

British classic

Unless it's a comedy, British films often don't get the recognition they deserve. This did. Friends in the State's were messeging me saying they have seen it.

The unscripted acting was warm when it needed to be and tense when it needed to be. It shine a light on Thatcher's Britain, divided and angry, a but like today. It's not always easy to watch but at the same time there is recognition of anyone who lived through this period.

So good it spawned a TV series, This Is England is one of Britain's best.
