For me, this episode in the Shadows of the Apt series was a real struggle. From a fairly slow, crawl of an opening it barely got moving until the last hundred pages or so. This book is key to the overall series but it really felt like a chore reading it. Che's character development in this book installs her as one of the most important characters in the series, and her link to the new Empress sets up a lot of the conflict to come, but it just felt so dragged out.
A must-read if one is to appreciate the whole series but from a fairly first 4 books this was a definite low.

This is a wonderful little novel. If you have never read the Benny Griessel series, which I had not, it provides a nice introduction to the characters and their backgrounds without delving in too deep as to take away from their current case. It did not leave he completely lost as some other books, which are part of a series, but it did make me want to know more about these characters and read the rest of the series. The particular case in this novella is worthy of the best detective novels and provides all the mystery, intrigue and unexpected ending we, as readers, love and desire. I can’t wait to read the rest of the Benny Griessel series!

Evening fix

Netflix and chill?? I find it more Netflix and stress out about having nothing to watch.
I find this a tricky one. Although finding a series can be quite easy the selection available is pretty poor. One minute your watching your favourite series and the next it's not available right as your about to finish it.
Want to watch a super retro film?? Don't bother. At Christmas you cannot get The nightmare before Christmas, the Grinch or elf. I mean that's pretty standard for Xmas viewing right?? ??
However with 2 kids there's usually something they can watch, and the Netflix original series are usually really good to watch.

Life behind bars

Well I'm late to the party on this one. Heard great things about this and it's be on my list on Netflix for ages. At 13 episodes and all around an hour long it is quite a big series.
The first half of the series is very funny as a new prisoner tries to adapt to prison life for carrying drugs 10 years previously. There are some great characters and plot lines in this. I found it was running out of momentum a bit towards the end. Still overall it's a very good series if you have missed it so far.
