Forgotten Girls, Chapters 21 & 22

Chapter 21: Louise at odds with secretary at new place of work. Secy doesn't tell her about required meeting.  Son sick, going to grandparents. Attack on burned "dead" girl is very violent--forensics. Memories of Klaus. Young love, new house, all seemed fine and then--suicide.

Ch. 22  Louise tries to make peace with secy.  She wonders if she's being set up to fail (and then by fired) in this new job.
Friendship with coworker who draws a rat for her (her office had been infested earlier).
Eik, her partner, examines the clothes of the scarred/burned girl very carefully.
  DNA MATCH:  The man who killed child care provider had had sex with Lise.  He didn't hurt Lise, not like he'd hurt the child care provider.  This should also mean that he knows where Lise's (living?) twin is, since the two were inseparable.

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

Live and Let Die

 The Fleming book, flawed by 50's racism, moves along in plot and character.  Fleming is an excellent writer--great descriptive powers and pacing. The movie has no redeeming qualities.  All that's left from the book is the racism, and in the book you can feel Fleming's doubts about his racist scenes slipping in.  In the movie (made years later), the racism is incredible.  1972.  Those who say no progress has been made should watch this.  Impossible to imagine this film being made today.
