Michelle McNamara I'll be Gone in the Dark (?)

not a good title, because I can't remember it.  Listening on audible

McNamara died at 46 before completing the book.  Drugs and a heart condition. She ran a blog on unsolved crimes, and this string of crimes was her main focus. So far, the book is as much a memoir of her upbringing as an investigation into the crimes.  Irish, Catholic schools, strained relationship with her mother, youngest of six, fascinated by crime beginning at age 14 when there is a murder (unsolved) near her home.

Quirky personality. I wonder if this would have ever found a publisher had she not died.

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

Brotherhood

 Showtime -- Providence, two brothers, one aspiring politician the other a crook.  Totally different, but not so much.  Cop (close friend as child) is investigating crooked brother.  Pretty good series.
