7th Canon 50 %

Shenanigans.
A thwarted politican (now elcerly) is trying to push his son into the governorship and eventually the presidency.  Convicting the priest quickly through a plea bargain will somehow help. How are these two involved in the murder of runaway?  Bad cop, Connor, also seems to be involved. He's revenging the firing of his father through this case. His targets are the aforementioned aspiring governors, but how?  Donley fighting the demons of his own father as he defends Father Tom.  Donley's investigator, Ross, is trying to get back onto the force after his disgrace.  What a tangled web!  And yet it is all flowing quite well.

Liking this book!

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.
