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.

Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin . . . finished

 Follows Sadie and Sam (Mazer) from childhood to mid-thirties when both are feeling old and a bit out of it in the gaming world.  Characters are well-rounded, develop throughout the novel in interesting way.  Plot is involved but sensible.  Not a single, "Oh, come on!" moment.  The book could have been faster paced. Odd, since the main topic is video games which are not for their speed of engagement and Gabrielle Zevin clearly knows her video games. Recommended by Michael Connelly in an interview.  He also has Bosch pick up the book in his novel, Resurrection Walk, as Bosch tails a possible witness to a crime as she moves through a bookstore. Sadie and Sam do not get together at the end, which is good.   Marx killed by homophobic nutcase who really wants to kill Sam, but Sam isn't there. Marx is father of Sadie's child.

The Franchise Affair, Josephine Tey--opening pages

Blair, a lawyer in Milford, gets a strange call.  His practice is wills and similar--nothing criminal.  A woman tells him that Scotland Yard is accusing her of abduction and implores him to come out to help her, even if later on he passes the case to someone else.  The woman says she has called him because he is "her type," meaning respectable and conservative.  He agrees.
