Review: Deadly Deception by Marie Romero Cash

A Mysterious Review of …

Deadly Deception by Marie Romero Cash. A Jemimah Hodge Mystery.

Review summary: The whodunit, howdunit, and whydunit to this murder mystery are basically explained in a preface, leaving only character development and a police procedural-style storyline to carry the plot. It isn't enough. This is a relatively short, fast reading novel, but one without much substance. (Click here for text of full review.)

New Motion Poster for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire

Lionsgate has released a motion poster for the second film in The Hunger Games trilogy … which is actually going to be four films. We've embedded it below together with information about the book from which it is adapted.

If you haven't seen the first film, the synopsis for the second will be a spoiler since it reveals the resolution of several plot points introduced in the first …

Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) has returned home safe after winning the 74th Annual Hunger Games along with fellow tribute Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson). Winning means that they must turn around and leave their family and close friends, embarking on a "Victor's Tour" of the districts. Along the way Katniss senses that a rebellion is simmering, but the Capitol is still very much in control as President Snow (Donald Sutherland) prepares the 75th Annual Hunger Games (The Quarter Quell) — a competition that could change Panem forever.

Directed by Francis Lawrence from a screenplay by Simon Beaufoy and Michael Arndt, adapted from the novel Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire opens in theaters November 22nd, 2013.
