Her Final Breath finished

Tracy gets the murderer--not the Home Depot employee who was stalking her and who was killed by the police.  He was just a weirdo.  Instead, the killer is the manager of the dance club, spiky haired guy whose mother was a prostitute and who had an itch for acting.  Tracy catches him as he's about to kill again. She talks to him.  The "acting" part of his nature is flattered by the SWAT team outside, the cameras, etc.  Tracy talks him into giving himself up.  (There is a bit too much exposition in the final chapters for my taste.) Tracy decides to continue as a cop.

This one wasn't as good as the other Dugoni mystery/thrillers I have read, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. He mentioned Hooverville, a tavern I've gone to in SODO, so that was flattering (I'm in there with the cool people!).

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.
