My Sister's Grave 75%

House freed, but who is the killer.  The only clue is the flat-bed truck that raced off after the window was shot out.  Traci sees it again, sends some license numbers to her Seattle cop partner.  Cascadia Furniture Company is one possibility . . .  aha!  Spoiler ahead!  That's the company of House (the rapist's) uncle.   Traci's sister would have trusted him and gotten into his truck.  He would have known when the dam would go on-line, flooding the burial site.  All points toward him, except the jewelry.  How would he have gotten that.

First defense attorney--now an old guy--is nailed to a wall and his house is set on fire, but he looks like he will survive.  Traci has her gun out and looks like she's headed to a climactic shoot out, but there is still 25% of the book left.  Puzzle must have another puzzle.

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.
