Before the Fall 20 %

Plane crash.  Private jet is leaving from Martha's Vineyard.  On board is a news executive (based on Fox News) and a high finance type under investigation.  Wives, two children, one painter who is just coming along for the ride. Plane crashes.  Painter (also a swimmer) saves himself and the small boy by an amazing swim in the dark to land. All others die.
Story backs up.  We hear about the beginning of the "Fox News" network.  We learn about the aunt of the little boy who lives . . . and her husband.  They stand to be in charge of millions, if not the owners of millions.  Finally, we are with the swimmer, Scott Burroughs.  He's just shy of 50, has been a profligate for most of his life, has recently found his voice as a painter, and he is now (slowly) coming to be obsessed with the crash and, perhaps, the little boy.

All is perfectly okay, but nothing is -- as of yet -- in any way gripping.

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.
