Escape Clause John Sandford

Virgil Flowers Minnesota detective

Great first chapter.  It seems we are with the murderers as they kill two people and then drag their bodies away.  Neighborhood is a place where people have "day jobs and their kids go to school."  Chapter two--Virgil skinny dipping with his girlfriend.  Much weaker.  Ch. 3  Not murdered people but tranquilized tigers. Virgil to investigate. We know that one of the tigers has already been killed.  Their is a sense that the second tiger will revenge her mate. Motive:  body parts for Chinese medicine?  Probably not, since that seems to be the motive and it's early in the book.

Uneven so far--I don't remember Virgil Flowers as randy stud from other book I read.  Doesn't ring true here--seems like Sandford is pandering.  So, we shall see. Audio version

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.
