I was watching a British noir-type movie on YouTube last night. I'm a big mystery and thriller fan and this one was great. It is one of the greatest murder plots I have ever heard. It is the story of a man who finds out his wife has been cheating while he is out of town. He kidnaps the guy and holds him up in a hidden room. (The room has two bathrooms and one big room.) Each day he brings the guy food and in a hot water bottle, he brings a chemical that he feels will completely dissolve the guy's body so much that it can go down the drain with no problems. He fills the tub in the second bathroom with the amount in the bottle each time he comes. He figures that he will wait until they are no longer looking for this guy and then kill him dissolving his body in the tub. Of course, a guy from Scotland Yard starts coming around and figures him out. But, what a great idea!

Like the story of YOU which was more animalistic and yet sophisticated!
