Laney bird is a retired undercover cop who is bumbling along through life with her troubled son Alfie. Dealing with her daily struggles as a single mum then one day Alfie doesn't return home

The book is captivating from the start. You get the back story of why alfie goes missing and all of the feelings and instincts of not just a mother but a retired cop, and just what she will do to have her son back.
I love the intensity of the book and intensity of all of everybodys feelings that are involved.

A deffinate must read it was capturing, intense and thrilling, deffinatly makes you want to turn the page to find out what happens next.

I don't think you know what a bad day is!
My first trip to the cinema in 5 months and it was for an enjoyable thriller. The premise sounded a little like @Duel (1971) which is a classic. So I wondered how this would be different. First off Russell Crowe looks a beast of a man in this, very different to how he normally looks. The tone is set right from the start, this is a brutal and violent film. In an age where everyone seems to get angry over the small things it's also relevant. Overall it wasn't too far fetched and very intense until the end. Worth your return to the big screen.

Love this show
The story is amazing and you can easy follow what is going on. It has its moments where your left wondering and are satisfied by the outcome. It gets intense and I enjoyed the characters and how they developed in the second season.

Smart, well written and fast-paced, at times almost unbearably intense and boosted by terrific performances from Rami Malek, Carly Chaikin, Portia Doubleday

Superb read. Well written with a great plot and characters. I was engrossed from start to finish. This book is fast paced and has elements of mystery and suspense. It also has some twists I didn't see coming and the ending was intense. I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book from Netgalley.

This book had me hooked from the first page. This is a very steamy romance read. The story was well paced and flowed really well. Amazing well written characters with very hot and intense chemistry between them. A fab story for these rainy autumn afternoons.



Highly recommended read

Gripping Thriller
A powerful and gritty series that will have you on the edge of your seat. This was like a book you can't put down. You will whizz through the 6 episodes in no time waiting to see what will happen next. The last episode was a bit weak for me but overall an intense thriller.

Netflix original thriller. This movie turned out way better than expected. Really good acting and cinematography. The story unfolded beautifully and was pretty intense. These friends made some bad decisions on their hunting trip and it came back on them pretty hard. Not really a movie for kids, but nothing too terribly graphic. REALLY worth a watch!

A pretty decent thriller, although not surprised it was straight to DVD. Saying that it does have a strong well known cast but just has a low budget feel to it. It's watchable especially if you like any of the actors but just not as intense or gripping as better thrillers. Called Butterfly on a wheel in the UK.
