Secrets of Eden

Prosecutor continues to narrate.  Rev. Drew went to Adirondacks with Heather, "explaining" his failure to return calls. (No cell reception.) She's unimpressed.  Interview includes questions regarding Alice perhaps having an affair.  Drew denies any knowledge, realizes he's getting himself into trouble, hires a lawyer.

Medical examiner concludes Alice's husband murdered her (DNA under fingernails) but also concludes that George (husband) did not kill himself. Too drunk (o.37)  So who did?

Nice description of interview with teenager daughter who is vague in a teenage way. Hopeful for reconciliation of parents even up to the day of the murder.

So the mystery is:  Who killed the husband?

Suspects are Reverend Drew (but he's so obvious) and daughter (but that's too far-fetched.) No clue.

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.
