OK set location thriller
The trailer looked pretty good. It starts well enough but after a while suffers quite a bit in just being set pretty much in one room of the 911 operators. With most of the performances done purely by a voice over the phone. This doesn't really help in the drama stakes.
Similar in many ways to @The Call (2013) as an 911 operator takes the call of someone who has been abducted and tries his best to track them. But it just loses the intensity around half way through although there are some twists as events unravel.

Well, Malignant is a ride from start to finish, the first hour being a mix of creepy supernatural horror (that James Wan can do in his sleep by now), crime thriller, and kind-of-sort-of Giallo (especially in some of the aesthetic choices), before unabashedly revelling in its 0-to-100 climax.
The less said about this the better, go in blind if you can, but all I'll say is this - if you like the sound of any of the above details, and enjoy a healthy slice of gore that is reminiscent at times of the 80s horror era, then strap in, because you are in for a treat. Not even kidding, probably Wan's finest hour.

Powerful thriller

Mockingbird's Cry is full of suspense, intrigue and romance, which makes a good all around read. There's plenty of action to keep you entertained.

Jo, an ex-member of Hera Force (all-female black ops group) is pulled back into the military life (that was ruined by a failed mission) working with Lincoln.... gorgeous, ex co-operative and lover from many moons ago!
    Both are strong and capable, you'd need to be with all the twists, turns and lies that keep getting in their way personally and professionally.
    The way that the two characters interact is well written and I really feel for them. I love how resilient Jo is.

I really enjoy Cara Hunter's Adam Fawley series so was eager to read this, a standalone thriller but, unfortunately, whilst I enjoyed the story, I liked the characters (although not many were likeable!) and I really enjoyed the mystery of who did the deed, I wasn't overly keen on the writing format which I found quickly became tedious due to the scene setting rather than focusing on the actual story.

Despite my misgivings on the style, I did like the twists and turns and, like I said, overall I enjoyed it and I thank HarperCollins UK, Harperfiction and NetGalley for enabling me to read and share my thoughts of Murder in the Family.
