Her Final Breath 25%

Wonderful to read a book set in your home town, even if it's a serial murder story.  Prostitutes who work for strip club are being killed by rope-expert torturer on Aurora Avenue. (Could any street be more inappropriately named?  It sounds so nice and   . . .  it isn't.  Tracy Crosswhite is investigating.  We have strip club owner, special ed teacher, and Texan stepfather as possible suspects so far.

Tracy is back in Seattle after exonerating her sister's convicted murderer only to then figure out that he WAS guilty, though he was also framed. Now she feels responsible for these murders because she'd left Seattle to work on her sister's case.  Tracy is also clearly in danger.  Mad killer will have her in his clutches in the end, I'm sure.

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.
