david cornwell, aka john le carre - his father was an absolute piece of shit, a liar, conman, abuser. when i found out the meaning of the title of his autobiography, the pigeon tunnel, i was horrified.

to be fair, she wasn’t alone in being horrified by the casting of tom cruise. cruise was super typecast as this flashy action hero and wasn’t considered to have much depth as an actor. many of the reviews echoed anne rice and expressed surprise that he was able to carry it off so well.

anything by joy ellis. only read one of her book but i’m convinced the others will be all the same

omg - this is hilarious. reading your comment gave me the same feeling as seeing a cockroach run across the wall

stupid audible was shilling the hell out of this one, and i was stupid enough to fall for it. i returned it. i’ve totally forgotten the minor twist, please remind me!

i was gobsmacked to discover that ellis’s wife is retired fairly high ranking police officer & wondered if she reads & provides any feedback?
