Loved this, and much like all the other reviews I have read, I struggled to put it down.
For me, Blake Crouch is breathing life back into the genre, his storytelling is remarkable, and I cannot comprehend how he weaves such fantastical 'worlds' into single books.
There is too much to unpack in a review, and I would hate to say anything to spoil the experience of the story, so please do go ahead and enjoy it for yourself!
Set some time aside though as it *will* grab you quickly, and draw you in with barely any time to breath.

As excited as I was for an "Art of the movies" book(retroactively, maybe I should've read the synopsis more carefully.),this is NOT that book. However, it still hosts a treasure trove of knowledge once you accept that. It's still super fascinating to read all about the creation of an interconnected movie franchise, because rather you love or hate Marvel movies, there's just no denying that what they've accomplished is nothing short of magic.

A group of hens travel to a remote, exclusive Scottish island to celebrate in luxury with the bride to be. Some of the women know one another, some don’t, and all of them have secrets.
So when the chef is murdered and one of the hens goes missing presumed kidnapped, it’s a race against time to save her. And then the secrets start to come out…
This was fast paced and great fun. None of the characters were particularly nice, but I do love to hate characters in my books!
Read with relish on The Pigeonhole!

"Get off my plane!"
Mid to late 90s film, that is - essentially (and I hate to use this phrase, but it describes it oh so well) 'Die Hard on a Plane'; this is the one with Indiana Jones as the prez of the United States who has his plane hijacked by Russian extremists (led by Gary Oldman) on his way back home from Moscow following a Presidential visit and a hard-line "we will not negotiate with terrorists" speech given by himself - it's hard to imagine now, in 2024, that relations were ever that good between the two countries!
