Still not a patch on the first series, but a very gripping drama following the investigation of a rape in a small rural west country town. Very emotional scenes and the whole ordeal was very well handled.

Kudos

Gripping Thriller

A cool psychological thriller with some neat twists. Great perfomances by all the leads, if you like thrillers like @Sleeping with the Enemy (1991) and @What Lies Beneath (2000) you'll enjoy this.

Stunning!

I haven't seen the TV show, but the book is a must read! It is gripping, intelligent, full of plot twists... everything you expect from Gaimen, but this has to be one of his best yet!

Kevin Kwan recommended Savage Grace: The True Story of Fatal Relations in a Rich and Famous American Family in Books (curated)

"Savage Grace reads like a gossipy thriller set in the Hamptons, but this story of the tragic Baekeland family—told through gripping interviews with some of the grandest names in New York society—is all devastatingly true."

Gritty and horrifying true story of Solomon Northup who was kidnapped and sold into slavery. Completely gripping but I found that some of the director's shots lingered slightly too long for my liking, such as the tree blowing.
