Gemma (572 KP) rated An Expert in Murder (Josephine Tey, #1) in Books

Good introduction to the world of Josephine Tey
I enjoyed this novel about the fictional life of a real person, Josephine Tey. This is the first novel in the series by Nicola Upson and I had previously read the fourth book as a standalone and I think that may have clouded my view a little on this book as I already knew what happened to the characters later on. I think if I was reading this novel first it would have been a lot more gripping. As it was, it was still an enjoyable mystery.

Gripping, moving and thought-provoking, this short series follows a troubled journalist who returns to her childhood hometown to chronicle the investigation into a recent death and new disappearance of young girls. The series covers her issues, her family troubles, the town's history and the underlying layer of grime beneath the Southern hospitality. There are a number of strands to this series, all of which could have filled a series on their own, and are seamlessly intertwined to one complete storyline.
Excellently acted, written and directed, this series does not put a foot wrong.

Mike (8 KP) rated Neverwhere in Books

I first read Neverwhere a long time ago, it was an excellent book then, and it still is. Neil Gaiman has an excellent way of describing the scenes and characters, and the story is gripping in a way that makes you not want to stop reading. This new edition, beautifully illustrated by Chris Riddell is wonderful, he draws from Neil's descriptions the characters as I imagine them, and, using the "author's preferred text" and additional material make it well worth the money. Buy this book, it is a beauty to behold, and wonderful to read.

Very gripping
Wow - loved it!!!
Gosh, what can I say? I just love Chris Carter's books and don't even have to read the back to know I'm going to enjoy it! Yet again Robert Hunter and his genius mind are faced with a deranged psychopath. This time however, as the crimes are committed all over the place, Robert and his partner are forced to team up with FBI, and as you can imagine both sides are not too pleased about it. Great,great book,cannot wait to read the next one.

I am little late, to put it mildly, with reading this book but better late than never I always say!
What a good read and one I'm pleased I didn't miss. Full of twists and turns, excellent characters, gripping story and a great writing style this is a great debut and one I would recommend to the few people out there who, like me, are a bit late joining the party!
Thanks go to Little, Brown Book Group UK via NetGalley for my copy in return for an honest review.

Micky Barnard (542 KP) rated Sully (2016) in Movies

Gripping
Sully was more than I expected. It superceded normal disaster movie/plane crash territory and took a narrative built on the personal story of Sully, the Captain of the plane.
This film viewed the crash from various perspectives and as a viewer you build an understanding of what happened and why. The experience of Sully himself and the first officer as their decision making and performance was investigated was rather brutal and made fascinating watching.
Tom Hanks played a believable character, controlled on the outside, doubting on the inside. Great performance.

Great story
Must watch TV
A truly binge worthy TV programme that will whizz by at just 8 episodes long. I had heard many good reviews for this and highly rated by TV critics as well. It has a very good gripping storyline that will hook you in. As slowly more is revealed over time and in flashbacks why an apparently random act of violence has a lot more to it. Great acting from the leads as well. If you like crime thrillers then check this out!
James Koppert (2698 KP) rated Force of Nature in Books

Gripping and dry
What I love about Jane Harper's books is the biggest character is always the landscape the story takes place in. Force of nature is set in one of Australia's cold and dark national parks, rugged and unforgiving and so the atmosphere is set. Take office politics up a notch to a brutal level and add intriguing and constant suspense and you will find it difficult to not read just another chapter. If you like crime novels Harper's and human and most importantly believable. Won't get a better thriller/crime novel this year
