Different direction for Saw (1 more)
Gore fans will be happy
I want to play a game
This seems to have come out of nowhere, or I'm just well behind with up coming releases. A detective story from the Saw universe.
Chris Rock, a little hard to view as a homicide detective, is working a case of a potential copycat killer of Saw targeting dirty cops. There is plenty of blood and gore in the traps as you expect, although they are less centre stage this time.
It's a decent mix of a cop thriller with the Saw traps twist thrown in. Although the ending was a little abrupt for me. Overall a decent film that will keep Saw fans happy while moving in a different direction.

This is a Harry Bosch story and as I've not read any of the others it is also a good stand alone book.
It keeps you interested in the actual story as well as encouraging you to buy the other Harry Bosch books to get his full backstory. I highly recommend reading it if you enjoy the detective/police genre as I do.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2346 KP) rated Blood Matters (Roxanne Prescott, #2) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
When adoption guru Sam Brennan is found bludgeoned to death in his house, it starts San Diego Sheriff Department detective Roxanne Prescott on a trail of long hidden secrets. The plot was uneven and really seemed to slow down in second half.

Gisell Middleton (189 KP) rated The Late Show (Renée Ballard, #1; Harry Bosch Universe, #29) in Books
Jul 12, 2018
I loved Michael Connelly's new novel. Renee Ballard is an interesting, dynamic and multi-dimensional character who is likable and relatable. The Late Show is heavy in police jargon and procedure, much more than in Connelly's Bosch books but he does a great job of explaining without losing fluidity or storyline. I can't wait to see what comes next for Detective Ballard!

Great read
I usually struggle with reading Stephen king, maybe because they're always very paranormal. But I loved this, kind of a cross with a detective book with a paranormal twist. Which was perfect for me. I couldn't put it down, but limited myself each day so I could appreciate what I was reading a bit more.
Definitely worth a read.

I don't usually read children's books but this one was written by friends of a good friend of mine. And who wouldn't want to read a beautifully illustrated book about a mouse detective that is hunting for lost notes written by Mozart?

If you love crime stories and detective series then you should try this game ! Its simple to play and is good with all ages
It does require an app but that only facilitates the game not dictates it .
The down side is the crimes arnt able to be replayed but they are fun that ome time you do !
