This Review: 7.3/10 Value for Money: Level of Realism: Rereadability: Lose Track of Time: I do believe that people deserve a second chance and can change but a lot depends on circumstances and this was just a very unfortunate accident. ![]() I see there is another book in the series but I'm not sure I would bother reading it, I was more interested in the flashbacks to see what happened and why. You also feel sorry for the victim's family as they understandably are bitter about the fact that JJ is alive and has a chance at a future when their own daughter will never have that chance. You feel sorry for Alice, she was just so young when the crime was committed and she has paid the price but the media will not leave her alone, they are out for blood. I was thinking that the three girls would meet JJ so it took a while to get past that theory (not sure why I thought that) and then I spent a lot of the rest of the book hoping the author would hurry up and get to what happened as all in the flashbacks the dead girl was just referred to as the dead girl but no name until almost the end. I was interested in reading this book, I love crime dramas and always get lost in the story, this book was no exception.

That 33-year gap wasn't for lack of interest. It's the first big screen version of the character we've seen since 1989's Fletch Lives. "Critical" Analysis: Confess, Fletch comes to us courtesy of Greg Mottola (director of Superbad and Adventureland) and Zev Borow ( Outer Range), who co-adapted Gregory McDonald's novel. Combine that with the kidnapping of his girlfriend Angela's (Lorenza Isso) father and the disappearance of her family's art collection - which Angela's stepmother "The Countess" (Marcia Gay Harden) may be involved with - well, that's quite a clam chowder our Fletch has gotten himself into. ![]() Fletcher (Jon Hamm), a "former investigative reporter of some repute" (as he frequently describes himself), finds himself the prime suspect in the murder of a woman whose body he discovers in his Boston Airbnb.

Stevens has been making a few errors in running the household- mistakes he dismisses as minor-but he thinks Miss Kenton’s return might help him resolve them. Although he’s initially unsure, he finally decides he will take the trip: it will give him the chance to pay a visit to Miss Kenton, who used to be Darlington Hall’s housekeeper, but who married and left several decades ago. As a result, Stevens is still learning to banter and joke, which he thinks of as a professional skill he should develop. ![]() Farraday’s casual, informal manner is unfamiliar to Stevens, who had served for many years under a traditional English aristocrat, Lord Darlington.
