David McK (3801 KP) rated The Fourth Rule (Riley Wolfe #4) in Books
Sep 7, 2025
The type of - largely disposable - novels you pick up and read whilst in an airport, waiting on a flight, or actually on said flight itself.
Which is exactly when and where I read this, without knowing it is actually the 4th in a series!
Thankfully, however, it is written in such a way that you do not *need* to have read the previous, although - and I'm guessing here - I suspect it may help to provide some wider context if you do so.
Anyway, in this the master thief Riley Wolfe gets involved in a plot to steal the Rosetta Stone from the British Museum, with the help of a new partner, whilst a ruthless new criminal collector has a vendetta against him for stealing from their collection.
Plot twist, if you can call it that, you can see coming from a mile off.
May read more; wouldn't be in a hurry to do so.

David McK (3801 KP) rated Sharpe's Honour in TV
Nov 14, 2021 (Updated Nov 14, 2021)
I say 'based on' as, because while the main thrust of the storyline is the same, the TV movie of necessity abbreviates the novel somewhat: most noticeably (I felt) watering down quite substantially the role of El Matarife in the proceedings.
As this starts, Sharpe is still mourning the death of his wife Teresa, while Napoleon - in his first appearance in the series - is in retreat from Russia, and with Major Pierre Ducos hatching a plan to drive a wedge between the Spanish and British allies while also getting his revenge on Sharpe by provoking a duel between Sharpe and a Spanish nobleman who he (Ducos) later murders, with Sharpe then taking the rap for said murder (until he is later able to prove his innocence).
David McK (3801 KP) rated Morbius (2022) in Movies
Apr 13, 2022
What can I say, other than it is getting terrible reviews?
Starring Jared Leto and Matt Smith, you think the former would have learned from his abysmal Suicide Squad role, with the latter not seeming to have much luck at all with his Hollywood choices despite starring as one of the biggest names in British TV: that of The Doctor.
Basically? Leto plays a scientist suffering from a rare blood disorder who, in an attempt to cure himself by splicing Vampire Bat DNA to his own (don't think too hard about the science!) manages to turn himself into (more or less) a vampire. Anti-hero, basically.
Set in the same universe as Venom - with those films getting a wink wink nudge nudge moment - if not the main MCU this is relatively short, very murkily shot (I still haven't got a clue what went on during the final scenes) and lacks the draw of Tom Hardy completely over acting.

Death in a Northern Town : Only the dead Die Twice ( book 4)
By Peter Mckeirnon - Writer and Filmmaker
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
My name is John Daint. Not too long ago something terrible happened. People began to get sick. So sick that their internal organs systematically failed and they died in the most disgusting ways imaginable. Only they didn’t stay dead and it wasn’t long before the town I once knew became the nightmare my brother had warned me about. This is my journal.
I’m sorry I couldn’t possibly give this any more than the full 5⭐️ I laughed so much and so loud good job my hubby is on nights this week! I need more! More Butty and definitely more 80sDave and his crazy shit!
This is hands down one the F and best British zombie series I’ve ever read bloody hilarious especially if your an 80s baby/child! Tina turner cigarettes it’s all I need to say 😂😂
