Fool Me Once, Michelle Keegan, Joanna Lumley, Adeel Akhtar


Another Harlan Coben thriller this ones a bit of a slow burner it has to be said a lot of these stories are layered this one more of a long story arc. Michelle Keegan takes the lead as a newly widowed mother who believes she has seen her dead husband on a nanny cam. When she confronts the nanny the situation escalates when the nanny pepper sprays hers and runs for safety. Keegan plays her part well there are some aspects of the character that makes it challenging playing a veteran who suffers post traumatic stress and can present challenges but Keegan dies well. 

Dame Joanna Lumley plays the rich mother in law and she's brilliant and revels in playing a darker role, for someone we’re used to seeing as a bubbly happy personality the darker role makes it all the more sinister. 

Adeel Akhtar plays Ds Sami Kierce who is the lead police officr during the series. This is a meaty role a senior police officer who's an expectant farther, suffering black outs and under strain to get results. You do become attached to his character in the way you would with an inspector Clouseau he's a lovable clumsy police detective. You know he has a good heart but things just go slightly wrong and he has to overcomehis own circumstances. 

After watching Harlen Corben series that are layered this one felt a bit pedestrian, the acting was good but I want a bit more. There were moments of tensionand drama but infrequentand tame. 

⭐️⭐️⭐️

Check it out but not the best of the collection for me!

Have fun stay safe

Sales, shopping and storms

Image
  Last night I listed some of the golf balls on eBay, the Titleist Pro V1’s and the TruFeel’s. Now it’s a crowded market on eBay so I placed them on promotion to be listed top. This morning I had sold both listings not for much but it’s a start.  After a quick visit to Tesco it was down to the local parcel shop to send them off.  It was an afternoon of preparing more golf balls to be listed and then a quick walk up Rowley lane and a big haul of 28 balls. When I inspected them at home three of the more valuable ones had small splits so we’re condemned to the bin.  I’ll keep you posted on more sales, have fun stay safe πŸ‘πŸΌ

Afternoon walk

Image
  It was an afternoon walk, I headed up to Rowley path as I feel there might have been a few Christmas golfers. I made it up to the top of the path and back. I found 11 balls today which was good going. The farmer had also been out with the chainsaw making the path safe by cutting some fallen trees. He’d left a can of two stroke petrol/oil mix near the tree so I grabbed it and left it on a fence post near to the farm for them to find in the daylight. It was a nice walk, I’ve finished Phoenix and I’m onto a new book so look out for a bad review.  Have fun stay safe πŸ‘πŸΌ
