Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2395 KP) rated Killer Blonde (A Jaine Austen Mystery, #3) in Books

Mar 9, 2018

Jaine has taken a job ghost writing a party planning book, but SueEllen, her new boss, turns out to be horrible. But when the police begin focusing on a murdered SueEllen's step-daughter, Jaine steps in to find the killer. While the characters can be a bit shallow, they work in this laugh out loud, over the top, comedic mystery.

Your whole family will sing along!

My five-year-old daughter will not sit still for a single thing and yet she plants herself on the ground when this movie is on and watches with rapt attention and tears glistening in her eyes; that is a better positive review than anything I can write. There is not a bad song in this movie and it will inspire you to hope for more, take risks, and reach for the stars.

I liked Simon rather than love

This is an above average teen film which ran like a who's who from 13 reasons why only slightly better, having said that I'm a 46 year old man so what do I know,I watched it with my youngest daughter (17) and although the subject matter was important it wasnt uncomfortable to watch and I found myself routing for Nick Robinson's character, over all a good film

Shockingly good

I watched Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri after watching it receive a couple of awards. I was not disappointed.

This movie covers some hard topics - the pain a family goes through after the rape and murder of the daughter, the fact that the crime is unsolved, small-town interpersonal relationships, cancer, suicide, but still has the perfect script to make it a dark comedy. The actors all did fantastic jobs. I highly recommend this movie.

Honestly, who does not love this book. I, sadly, didn't even know about this book until I was in high school but I immediately went out and bought it for my daughter when I first learned I was pregnant. I have since carried on traditional and each of my kids have their own copy.
This book is an appropriate gift for baby showers, graduations, "milestone" birthdays, etc. And if you haven't read it yet then what are you waiting for?
