After seeing the buzz and positive reviews surrounding this book, I figured I'd give it a try. I'm always wary now when they liken a current author to Agatha Christie (cough, cough, Ruth Ware), because these authors do not deserve the honor.
The characters were ok and predictable. It was true to life, the situation with old friends, and how you don't have anything really in common anymore, but you force yourself to still hang out with them.
The plot was so rollicking, it just needed to get to the point. The red herrings were stupid and too numerous. The events were predictable, and the end was meh.
I probably won't read anything else by this author.

Full transparency: I'm a Jesse Eisenberg fan. With that being said, the role he plays (Casey) seems like it was literally made for him.
Casey plays a wallflower everyman who has a life altering encounter that creates a cascade of events that concludes with the pinnacle of satisfaction. Immogen Poots performs a stellar role as a jaded Karate student who, with the help of Casey, finally gets her comeuppance.
I would love to elaborate more, but my doing so would give away pivotal development points of the plot, and I try not to include spoilers in my reviews. Do yourself a favor and give this a chance. If nothing else it will put a smirk on your face.

Apologies for the influx in reviews but I'm bored and thinking.
Overall I like this series I love it in fact and couldn't put the first few books down.
But Evelyn oh, Evelyn (Sorry for possible misspellings)
The book prior to this she was cold, hard and I suppose she had reason to be.

It was still enjoyable.
This book was even more so at first.
But the twist near the end really tore me from this beautifully constructed, utterly engaging world.
I think I prefer America's journey to hers but I still recommend the series

The Chocolate Lady (94 KP) rated Cocaine Blues (Phryne Fisher, #1) in Books
Oct 5, 2020
After reading many reviews filled with praise for Kerry Greenwood's Phryne Fisher mystery novels, I finally decided to give them a look. The idea of a 1920s amateur sleuth in Australia was certainly a draw. That the sleuth is a woman was also attractive, particularly since I always loved Miss Marple, as well as Christie's books staring the adorable duo of Tommy and Tuppence. The question is could Greenwood's debut of this series live up to the creative twists mixed with charm and elegance that made Christie so famous and beloved. Find out in my review of "Cocaine Blues" here.

Board Game News (72 KP) rated Monopoly Gamer: Mario Kart in Tabletop Games
Jan 11, 2021
Fast-paced, easily doable in 30 minutes if everyone knows how to play. (3 more)
Good option if playing with kids, as there is a lot of randomnesses.
The Mario Kart theme well implemented, shooting shells, etc. at each other is fun.
Not very Monopoly-like.
VERY random, not for gamers, better suited for families preferrable with kids. (2 more)
The quality of the cards are so-so.
If you are a Monopoly fan, you will be disappointed as the properties part of the game is very light. Also, you can't buy hotels, etc.
An OK game for kids and families.
