Good read

This is the 4th book in the blackthorpe security series. I have read the first 3 books and was really looking forward to reading this one. It didn't go into as much detail as the others in the series and the characters didn't have as much depth. But I did like the twist that the author did in this one. Overall this was not my favorite book in this series.

Very disappointing book. The premise interested me and I was enticed by the blurb of this book. However, I found myself reading pages and pages of Leonie mooning over Patrice which went on far too long. There lacked substance to the explanation behind Patrick's past and I felt the conclusion of the book was empty and hollow. Hate reading books which you keep reading hoping for some twist or redeeming moment which just never appears.

This book was definitely a page turner. Even when I thought I had it all figured out the last 2 chapters have a twist which I never saw coming! The book was left in a way that the author could write a sequel to it but at the same time I would possibly change genre as there wouldn't really be a mystery to solve.

I actually didn't realize this was a remake until halfway through, and now I fear it's ruined the twist of the original Dirty Rotten Scoundrels that's been on my to-watch list for years. Oh well. The performances are great, the humor mostly works, I really have little to no complaints. It wasn't outstanding, but my wife and I enjoyed it.

Fresh take on the Slasher genre (0 more)
Groundhog Slasher
A light hearted tongue in cheek take on the Slasher genre. Featuring a Groundhog day angle of living and dying the same day over and over. It has its funny moments and Jessica Rothe is great in her role. Mixed with a bit of a Whodunit? twist with plenty of suspects. Don't expect a violent gorefest and you should like this quite a bit.

Terrible Cgi scenes
One for the Black list
The most recent Sky Original film set at a Black Site facility. Despite a talented cast the plot and story are quite simple. Rather slow and boring to get going for a short film. Almost more Slasher film than action once a character goes on the rampage. The apparent twist was obvious from the start. One to miss.

Interesting if slightly odd Thriller
I remember seeing Trailers for this but missed it at the Cinema. A slow burn Thriller as a recluse Author of a controversial book, that was claimed to inspire a mass shooting, seems to be harassed by a fan.
A bit like The Game in parts, quite an intricate plot that does take a while to gather pace. It's ok but far from great.
