Narcos Mexico #8

Kiki Camerana, having pulled off the greatest bust in history, is ready to leave Mexico.  The cartel is in an uproar. Felix, concentrating on cocaine, is ready to let the bust go. Rafa, the marijuana King, is not.  Rafa has Kiki kidnapped.  They torture Kiki to find out what might be happening next. (We've just seen the State Department decide that nothing will happen next.)

Early on, maybe at the end of Narcos Cali show, we were shown Kiki's picture on a DEA wall--presumably of agents who died on duty.  Because of that, there's no suspense as to what will happen.  LIke watching a tragedy play out.  Rafa seems on the verge of being killed by someone in the cartel. Neto and Felix both seem in danger as well.

Not as good as the earlier Narcos seasons.

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.
