Resurrection Walk by Michael Connelly

 About 40% done.

Lucinda in jail for killing her cop ex-husband.  She pled guilty on advice of Silver her atty, but now wants out.  Bosch investigates for Mickey Haller, Lincoln Lawyer brother, and yes, it is suspicious.  Cop ex-husband was part of police gang.  Did she kill him?  Did his cop buddies kill him for fear he was talking to the FBI about cop gangs? Did a gang kill him?  

Subplot about young boy accused of shooting cop seems "solved."  Cop actually accidentally shot himself, which would end his career.  Blames the kid instead.  Bosch sees discrepancies and the boy is released.  Is this plot over?  . . . seems so. Flying along.  

Bosch getting treatment for his cancer at UCLA.  Maddie visits.  Daddy-Daughter love-in without words.

Spare us.

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.
