Trespasser 70%

Antoinette goes into a total paranoid state. She believes, for a chapter, that everyone is out to get her kicked out of the murder squad, including Steve and another friend, Fleas.  Not completely convincing.  Rory as stalker of Aislinn is a convincing, good twist, as is the appearance of Antoinette's father.  The scene with him is great, and leads to the breakthrough:  Aislinn, to learn more about her dad's disappearance, gets involved with a policeman.  Probably Breslin.  A. theory goes like this.  Breslin, vain, is angered when he learns Aislinn has another beau.  He asks McCann to go talk to her and sort it out while he sets up an alibi.  McCann kills her, accidentally probably.  McCann cleans up like a cop would, then tells Breslin.  Breslin calls it in, hoping maybe she's only hurt.  Since then, McCann has tried to act like a crooked cop and push Antoinette and Steve into thinking gangs are involved to keep them off the real facts.

Seems like this it, so what will happen in the next 30% of the book.
Antoinette is back in good with Steve--God knows why Steve puts up with her.

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.
