A murder-mystery, the book becomes a best-seller and once again the former lawyer finds himself at the top -- until the circumstances of the real writer's death and a series of other deaths lead police to accuse him of being a serial killer. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

Great Thriller. Solid Story, great acting, and my fav great Costumes. Amitraj and Andrew Stevens productions are very random. Mark Pellegrino is very under rated actor. He is a Multi Talent I tell you.

This thriller has a genuinely original plot and is very well written. The plot twist isn't easily spotted and will definitely have viewers guessing for a long time. It's fast paced and well directed by Rowdy Herrington, who's really a director to look for. Cuba Gooding Jr. does a good job in the lead, proving he can well handle dramatic parts as well. Tom Berenger does well, as always, in a relatively small part as a tough detective. A Murder of Crows is a suspenseful and thoroughly entertaining thriller that deserves to be better known.
