Hazel (2934 KP) rated The Butterfly Wheel in Books
Jan 29, 2023
A really good and engaging thriller.
Jake's a bit of a lad and a horrific motorbike accident doesn't seem to change much however, when women he meets and show an interest in him are murdered, he becomes the prime suspect. Facing a multiple murder charge, Jake needs all the help he can get if he's not going to be staring at the inside of a cell for the majority of his life.
With some great characters (not all of them particularly likeable), a growing sense of tension and some great twists and turns, the Butterfly Wheel develops into a really good and engaging thriller and my thanks go to the author and NetGalley for enabling me to read and share my thoughts of this book.

Loved this book! It has everything you could want from a thriller; fast paced, excellent story line, brilliant characters and great setting. Scarily, in the world in which we live, I can see this not being beyond the realms of reality!! Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for my copy in return for an honest and unbiased review.

Jul 11, 2017
THE SECRETS SHE KEEPS is tense, immersive, and emotional—a perfect blend of commercial thriller appeal and the kind of rich character development and masterful plotting that's simply hard to find.

Tommy Lee Jones reprises his role from The Fugitive (1 more)
Good all round cast
Entertaining Action/Thriller
A decent sequel of sorts to @The Fugitive (1993) as the same group of US Marshals track down another man on the run. It's not as indepth as as the first film, but if you enjoyed that you should like this.

Multi-layered Crime Thriller
A cool British gangster flick as some low end criminals get in way over their head. It's interesting the way the story unravels and it is well made. If you like Snatch, @Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1999) you should enjoy this to. Although this has less humour than those two films.

Good genre blender
A decent Horror, Thriller mash up as a group of kidnappers get more than they bargained for. For a low budget film the effects are OK, the story is good with a decent twist. If you don't mind something off the main stream for your horror thrills then check this out.

Hmmm, its Blake Lively and that's usually enough for me, this one however is a snappy short shark thriller that has moments that just prove to be improbable with a shark that's a bit of a stalker..who could blame him, not a great film but short enough to forgive its shortcomings and did I mention Blake...
