Run Time by Catherine Ryan Howard
4.0
Title: Run Time
Author: Catherine Ryan Howard
Format: eAudiobook
Description: Movie-making can be murder...The project: Final Draft, a psychological horror. Promising Young Thing Steve Dade will direct. The tagline: Based on a terrifying true story. That hasn't happened - yet.' The location: A cottage deep in a forest, miles from anywhere in the wintry wilds of West Cork. The lead: Former soap-star Adele Rafferty has stepped in to replace the original actress at the very last minute. She can't help but hope that this will be her big break. The problem: Something isn't quite right on the set of Final Draft.
Adele is about to discover that the real horror lies off the page.
Thoughts: I'm so discombobulated, but in the good way. I'm not sure how to describe the twists and turns in the book! It was a great read/listen but the ending was a bit blah. There were times when things seemed to be going in one way and then something else pops in. And when we got pieces of the puzzle, they fit but they felt weird. Like, in the end when we got the who, what, when and why, the pieces fit and made sense but also didn't make sense. I was left wondering how we got from point A to point B. Which again, wasn't bad, just made the ending kind of meh, given the twists and turns from the book prior to the ending. Despite the lackluster ending, the book was pretty good and I would recommend.
Rating: 3.5 out of 5 Stars (Rounded Up)
