TV Season Rating

The second series I watched demonstrated a sharp contrast to that ethos. The Keepers is a seven part mini series that despite setting itself up as a mystery still to be solved, knows from the start that by episode seven it has exhausted its material and you will get your chance to scream outrage against the evil priesthood and the shame of masculine power at its worst.

The power of this one is watching first hand testimony of survivors that fill in pieces of a puzzle that should never have been a puzzle if not for the indoctrinated protection of a few outdated ideas of power at its very worst. The sadness is that a good soul had to die to prove it, and that it was almost certainly not special, but indicative. Listen to the contrast of how much the key victim was loved against how much the perpetrators were reviled, even though it took half a lifetime to bring it all to context.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2332 KP) rated Death by Pantyhose (A Jaine Austen Mystery, #6) in Books

Mar 9, 2018

The sixth Jaine Austen mystery finds Jaine agreeing to write jokes for an unfunny stand-up comic. But before she can get started, the woman is arrested for murder. The weapon, a pair of pantyhose. Definitely for those who love funny mysteries, this one will keep you laughing while you puzzle over the clues.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2332 KP) rated The Sudoku Puzzle Murders (Puzzle Lady #9) in Books

Mar 9, 2018

Now the murder victims in Bakerhaven are appearing with Sudoku and Crossword puzzles on them. Can Cora solve the latest case? The book was still fun, but I am getting very tired of the stories involving the main character's personal lives. It's been the same for several books now. Really time to move on.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2332 KP) rated Stalking the Puzzle Lady (Puzzle Lady #7) in Books

Mar 9, 2018

Cora has a problem. One of her many fans is stalking her, but she doesn't know who it is. And when he turns to murder, things really get out of hand. As always, I found parts of the book laugh out loud funny while other parts were highly suspenseful. If only the endings were stronger.

Amanda (30 KP) rated Son (The Giver, #4) in Books

Jun 21, 2018

I really enjoyed this book because it tied up the loose ends and wove the stories the stories together. This book really ties up the loose ends and helps put the pieces of the puzzle together. After reading this, everything that you've read finally makes sense.

As someone who had long wondered what happened to the Jonas and Gabe at the end of The Giver, I'm glad to finally have an answer.
