Widow's Son 33%

Mormon mystery.  Emery, as a young man, swears to avenge the murderers of Joseph Smith by slitting the throat of living relative.  He's all set to do it, but he falls in love with her instead.

Our rare books guy has a daughter.  The daughter is  falling  in love with the son of a long-time friend.  But wait--that son of a long-time friend is also the son of our rare books guy. He and his friend had a fling one night.  So it would be incest were his daughter to take up with the boy.   Yikes!

Cozy but definitely creepy story.

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.
