Monet Murders, Terry Mott, finished

Wonderful cozy mystery.  Bright, shiny language throughout.  Characters are perfectly exaggerated so that they remain somewhat plausible and yet slightly cartoonish.  Lots of snappy one-liners that made me laugh out loud.  The weakest part of the novel (the only weak part) is the plot. At various points our detective wonders why he is considering doing X, Y, and Z.  We, as readers, wonder, too, because it makes no sense.  He's not even being paid by anyone.

I will definitely read something else by Terry Mort.

Netflix Lincoln Lawyer

 Just a long yawner.  Acting was fine; there just wasn't nearly enough plot to carry 10 episodes.  Tech guy accused of killing wife.  LL takes on the case after the tech lawyer's first lawyer is murdered.  Mickey Haller gets the guy off . . . trick is the guy is guilty.  He used a drone to dispose of bloody clothes.  Subplot Maggy McFierce trying to get a conviction of a human trafficker.  She loses but then wins.  The divorced couple almost gets back together, but they are on opposite sides of the adversarial process and work comes first.  Won't be in a hurry to watch Season 2

Brotherhood

 Showtime -- Providence, two brothers, one aspiring politician the other a crook.  Totally different, but not so much.  Cop (close friend as child) is investigating crooked brother.  Pretty good series.
