Narcos Season 3 finale

Jorge nearly killed, but survives. Implicates cartel and gets into witness protection program in USA--a new kind of prison.  Accountant comically asks about his home in the USA, not getting that the cartel is coming to kill him NOW. He also testifies.  President of Colombia implicated in corruption. Cartel members Checko and Pacho killed in prison. Brothers Gilberto and Miguel extradited to USA where they're sentenced to life.  Pena mixed feelings. Corrupt government still in power, so not a real victory. He turns in his badge, but can he stay out of the fray?  Narcos Mexico is next--I'm guessing Pena will be there.

Terrific show.

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.
