Killing Eve Final Season

 About 1/3 through.  A bit of a yawner.  When Villanelle is on screen, it's interesting.  Conversion to Christianity, for example, ends with her killing the vicar and his daughter.  So much for religion.

The Eve portion, which involves finding the TWELVE, is tedious.  Eve has new boyfriend, Yosuf.  No chemistry at all.  Eve visits Helene who is somehow involved.  Helene burns Eve's hand by holding it on stove top.  Eve leaves.  Oh well.

Often these series improve over time.  Perhaps this will also.  Fingers crossed.

Okay, watched another episode.  Still not engaged . . . life is too short.  New plan is to watch the final episode and call it good.

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.
