Eleanor (1463 KP) rated What Lies Between Us in Books

Jan 20, 2021

Over the past 12 months, John Marrs has shot towards the top of my favorite authors' list, and 'What Lies Between Us' does not fail to deliver.

Featuring the most messed up of family dynamics, the gasp moments keep on coming as we try to decide who is most dysfunctional; daughter Nina or mother Maggie. They both put a big claim to the title.

The writing is so gripping that once you start you just want to keep on going, so despite the disturbing content I didn't want a break.

Many thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the copy

One of my favorite genres that I don't feel we get enough quality movies of these days is western. The silver lining in that is in the over saturated world of movies and television today when a good one does get made it really shines. Directed by the amazingly talented Vincent D'Onofrio and starring a wonderful cast, including D'Onofrio's daughter, Ethan Hawke, Dane DeHaan(who reminds me of a young Leonardo DiCaprio), and Chris Pratt as a bad guy which was cool to see, The Kid shines brighter than a sheriff's badge during a gunfight at high noon.

Buddy-cop movie from the late 90s that (I believe) had the tagline "The Fastest Feet in the east meets the Fastest mouth in the West" at the time of release, and which see's Jackie Chan's Hong Kong cop (the former) travelling to America where he - initially unwillingly - teams up with Christ Tucker (the latter) LAPD cop to investigate the kidnapping of the Chinese consulate's 11 year old daughter,

Marrying Jackie Chan's particular breed of fast-footwork slapstick with Chris Tucker's fast mouth, this is pretty much what you'd expect from a film in this genre!
