A Mysterious Review of …
Skating on the Edge by Joelle Charbonneau. A Rebecca Robbins Mystery.
Review summary: This is an entertaining mystery, set in a small town, where everyone knows everyone else … and their secrets, too. The storyline unfolds in a comfortable manner, easy to follow without being overly complicated. There is a lot of humor here, too, both in character and in setting, as well as a touch of romance for the lead character. (Click here for text of full review.)

A list of the top 15 Mystery Hardcover Bestsellers for the week ending November 2nd, 2012 has been posted by the Hidden Staircase Mystery Books.
We have a new book at the top of the list for the first time since June: The Racketeer by John Grisham.
We're entering the relatively quiet pre-holiday season, where the number of new titles coming out is limited. This week, there's merely some reordering of titles as no new books enter the list.
Magnolia Pictures has released a new trailer for the comic fantasy thriller John Dies at the End, adapted from the novel by David Wong.
It's all about the Soy Sauce, a drug that promises an out-of-body experience with each hit. Users drift across time and dimensions. But some who come back are no longer human. Suddenly a silent otherworldly invasion is underway, and mankind needs a hero. What it gets instead is John (Rob Mayes) and David (Chase Williamson), a pair of college dropouts who can barely hold down jobs. Can these two stop the oncoming horror in time to save humanity? No. No, they can't.
Directed by Don Coscarelli from his own adapted screenplay, John Dies at the End opens in theaters January 25th, 2013.

Rest for the Wicked by Ellen Hart. A Jane Lawless Mystery.
Review summary: This is a solidly plotted, multi-faceted mystery with several intersecting storylines.

Back in February we reported that William Goldman would adapt his 1985 crime thriller Heat, with Jason Statham starring. At the time Brian De Palma was attached to direct, but today we're learning that Simon West (Con Air, The General's Daughter) will helm the remake. West also directed Jason Statham in The Mechanic.
Goldman, who has won two Oscars for adapted screenplays (Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, 1969; and All the President's Men, 1976), first adapted his book for the 1986 film Heat starring Burt Reynolds.
Heat is expected to begin production in February 2013.
