In Macallister's second novel, she takes on telling the story of Kate Warne, America's (and maybe the world's) first female detective, who walked into the Pinkerton's Detective Agency in 1856 and insisted Pinkerton take her on as an agent.

Detective Rebus is totally clueless
From the outset it was completely obvious who was responsible for the murders and abductions and yet it took the entire novel for the detective to figure it out. I became rather frustrated with the character's various flaws which stopped him from solving the murder. I was told Ian Rankin has a good reputation for writing thrillers so slightly disappointed overall.

Loving a lady assasin
I was extremely skeptical when I started watching this show. I did not have a ton of background information on what it was about. I was hooked almost immediately. Both the detective and the assasin are smart asses which also makes the drama very funny. Definately worth a watch.

Vacations don't always go to plan
Detective James Carter (Tucker) and Inspector Lee (Chan) are vacationing in Hong Kong.
when a bomb explosion at the US Consulate kills two undercover agents Lee is assigned to the case unbeknownst to detective Carter, causing a rift between the two.

The return of the action comedy duo bring more laughs and action to the table than previously as Rush Hour 2 became a rarity... A solid sequel.

Good cast (0 more)
A decent slow paced thriller, more of a detective story really. It has a great cast Gene Hackman, Susan Sarandon, Paul Newman and a very early, memorable role for Reese Witherspoon. If you like detective stories and a plot with a slight twist you might like this, but it could do with a bit more action at least. It seems to have slipped by most people but it's worth a watch if it's on.

Off the charts. Never read anything like this before a unique blend of pop/cartoon/book teen kid detective trope and H. P. Lovecraft monsters you will ever meet. I couldn't put it down.

Predictable jump scares
Poor direction
Another Grudge
We really don't need yet another film in the Grudge series. Another re-boot that offers nothing new. The usual predictable jump scares mixed with an odd feel. At times it felt more like a detective drama than a Horror film, but it just doesn't fit. It does look nice at times, the detective film vibe sections at least, but it's a waste of a good cast.
