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
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.
