I was just so engaged with everything going on and trying to untangle all of the strings that I lost track of time, both in real life and in the world of the book.Īnd when I say “partial killer,” I’m pleased to report that The Vanishing Stair *does* reveal one of the killers from one of the cases that Stevie has devoted herself to. This book moves along at such a natural but brisk clip that I didn’t realize I had read an entire novel’s worth of story until I flipped to the author’s acknowledgements. Or, well, partial killer, but definitely no filler. I honestly can’t say this enough: The Vanishing Stair is all killer, no filler. no special effects just plain good old fashioned acting (good actually) and an ending kind of predictable, still enjoyable (again if you like tragedies).But, while neither of the cases Stevie is working on appear to be making progress and she’s still far from figuring out whodunnit, there seem to be unseen and intangible forces working just below the surface that are heightening the danger around Stevie and increasing the pressure on her to solve both mysteries.
i'd recommend the movie to anyone who likes thrillers and tragedies on film. all is sad from the very beginning and the only laughs occurred when donald and james found gold in the chest. the drama unfold with camera close to the faces of the actors to emphasis the tragedy going on, no images from the beauty of the ocean and a blue scotish sky don't expect to see that. all did a good work, and the director set the grim tone right from the beginning. acting is excellent from the three main actors, as well as from the supporting characters. About the movie itself, i'd say its pretty good. Will we ever know what happened to those 3 scotish men, thomas, donald and james? sadly, most probably not, which is so sad, especially because they had wives and children. In the real diary entry logged by the real keepers, they write about a terrible weather "as the one they have never seen in 20 years at sea." That particular entry in the book is extraordinary, having in consideration that weather reports at the time indicated that weather was fine and calmed and the first rain can in on december 17, 1900. Was it a terrible natural accident, such as the three men falling down a cliff or down inside a cave? Or something more sinister as the men kill each other? Your guess is as good as mine. Theories abound about what really happened, from alien abduction to a giant wave, and anything in between. The truth is that nobody knows for sure what was the fate of the real three men at the Flannan Isle, and anybody's guess is as good. The movie is a tragedy, an imaginary tale of what could have happened to the real "keepers" who indeed vanished back in mid december of 1900, and never heard of again.
