Merissa (13144 KP) rated The Best New True Crime Stories: Crimes of Passion, Obsession & Revenge in Books
Dec 13, 2021 (Updated Jul 9, 2023)
THE BEST NEW TRUE CRIME STORIES: CRIMES OF PASSION, OBSESSION & REVENGE is an eclectic mix of stories from all over the world, set in different times, from Victorian England to Japan, to modern-day America.
If you like True Crime then I am sure you will find something to keep your interest. It is clear from the start that a lot of research has gone into these stories, some of which have personal memories from the author. However, some of the stories felt disjointed in the way they were presented, going off on tangents that didn't seem relevant to the story at that point.
Each story features the bare bones of the story; being a collection, there simply isn't room for much more. However, it gives you the story, some build-up, and some information after the crime.
On the whole, this was an enjoyable read by a new-to-me author.

Movie Critics (823 KP) rated Gotham - Season 1 in TV
Jun 12, 2017
Thankfully, there are more high points in Gotham than low points. The growing tension between two crime families takes on a life of it’s own throughout season one with Oswald Cobblepot firmly in the middle.

This programme is absolutely hilarious!! There are funny one liners as well as just funny situations.
There is some character progression throughout the series as the women discover a life of crime and the choices it then leads too.
Really hoping they make a season 2 as the first season ends on quite the cliffhanger.

Find this one on Netflix turned out to be one heck of a thriller. The description is a little misleading, but in a good way. The acting and cinematography were great. The storyline unfolded beautifully and had plenty of twists in it. If you're into crime thrillers, this one is really worth a watch!

Is she bad or mad? Mymy
My girlfriend wanted to watch this, I didn't, then she put it on and I was hooked. Brilliantly written and acted crime drama where lead copper, Marcella is falling apart and losing it herself but keeping it together enough to try and get the bad guys. Awesome British TV.

Love it!
I finally started watching Lucifer on Netflix and I'm wondering why I didn't watch it sooner! Lucifer is a wonderful mix of comedy and drama. Crime with a love hate love story. I m officially addicted to this show and I'll be sad when I run out of episodes. (Currently on S2 E12.)
