Goliath 2.6

Corrupt cop who flipped (Keith Roman?) sets it up so his buddy Danny can kill him and put him out of his misery. Danny can't pull the trigger. Roman returns to where his family is being hidden where he is promptly murdered.  His family is also killed as is the cop guarding them.

Billy is taken by Marisol to her brother Gabriel's hacienda.  Hints of incest. Marisol is actually Claudia.  She is running for mayor at corrupt Gabriel (drug dealer/cartel honcho) request/behalf.  while Billy is in the hacienda, Julio is killed in prison just before his release.  Marisol knows this is going to happen.  When Billy finds out, he takes off into the countryside and the show ends.

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.
