Compulsion by Jonathan Kellerman

*****

Usual murder mystery fiction featuring psychologist Alex Delaware partnered with LAPD detective Milo Sturgis. Grand easy holiday read that raced along but the plot I shall probably have forgotten by vacation's end. #book #fiction

The Ghost by Robert Harris

*****

I really enjoyed this novel, a total page turner that raced along. It's narrated by the ghost writer of the former British prime minister, who's brought in on the project after the sudden death of the first writer. The ex PM Adam Lang and his wife Ruth...

Michael Clayton

*****

This movie started well, George Clooney  and Tilda Swinton were great. Felt it fizzled out into a "seen that done that" legal genre film which was a pity as it could have been so much more.

Weeds, Season 4

*****

The first episode of this new series was disappointing. Having enjoyed the previous seasons of this American TV comedy, this opening episode dragged along and wasn't as funny or entertaining as usual.

Top Chef Season 4

*****

As the contestants get whittled down, the competition is getting tougher, patience is wearing thin and the tension is rising. This is my favourite reality tv cookery based series and I've enjoyed the 3 preceding series.

Babel Movie

*****

If it's a choice between watching this movie or watching paint dry, go with the paint. Another "worthy" mind-numbing waste of time and money. Tourist in Morocco is shot by gun used by two kids which was given to someone they know by Japanese tourist...
