Sunburn 90%

Polly is (maybe) in love with Adam. She(maybe) thinks he is spying on her. She (maybe) killed Cath. She (maybe) set up Irving to take the fall for the fire that killed Cath. She (maybe) is just the victim of a serious of unfortunate errors and is ready to start a new life. 

Adam is in love with Polly. He thinks that (maybe) she is in love with him. He thinks that (maybe) she did or didn't kill Cath.  He thinks that (maybe) she is using him. He thinks that (maybe) they can be happy together.

Closing in on what looks like a great ending.  Double Indemnity has been mentioned a few times, so perhaps they will die in one another's arms.  Problem--no guns.

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.
