Turns out almost twenty of his books have been turned into films and TV series. But not all have been translated to English.
The pacing is slower than a typical American or British whodunnit.
But mathematician Tetsuya Ishigami and Manabu Yukawa, a physicist who often consults with the police, are two of the best fictional characters I’ve read in a long time.
Bosch Legacy pretty much picks up right where the original Bosch series ended.
And it’s equally good. 100% on Rotten Tomatoes.
“Harry” Bosch has retired from the LAPD, and works as a private investigator.
Defense attorney Honey “Money” Chandler, has him work on some cases for her.
His daughter Maddie navigates her first days as a patrol officer with the LAPD, working from Hollywood Station, where her father used to be assigned. Bosch investigates businessman Carl Rogers, who previously hired a hitman to kill Chandler. Billionaire businessman Whitney Vance asks Bosch to discreetly investigate a private matter.
My favourite in the TV show is Becki Newton as Lorna Crain, Haller’s 2nd wife and office manager.
I also like Krista Warner as Hayley, Mickey’s teenage daughter. She’s very natural and believable.
Though reviews have been mixed, I quite enjoyed the acting and the plot lines.
The ending is strong. I’m confident season 2 will get the green light.
I’ve never been much of a fan of courtroom procedurals. BUT both this series and the book I was reading — Full Disclosure by Beverley McLachlin — both have cases with tunnel vision. The police assumed from the beginning that husband killed wife.
Real people in America. The USA is a terrible place to be poor.
Main is inspired by Stephanie Land‘s memoir Maid: Hard Work, Low Pay, and a Mother’s Will to Survive.
Story focuses on a young mother who escapes an abusive relationship, subsequently struggling to provide for her daughter by getting a job cleaning houses.
After co-moderating the 2016 Republican debate, Megyn Kelly faces numerous insults from Donald Trump, who is upset because she asked him about his offensive comments toward women. …
Fox eventually paid the victims of sexual harassment $50 million, while paying Ailes and O’Reilly $65 million in severance.
Rupert Murdoch hired him in 1996 to become the CEO of Fox News. In 2016 Ailes was fired, taking a $65 million golden handshake. He was under investigation for sexual harassment from Megyn Kelly and many other women.
Other FOX old men accused of harassing blonde women included:
Fox Sports President Jamie Horowitz Fox Business Host Charles Payne Fox News host Bill O’Reilly Fox News Latino vice president Francisco Cortes Fox News co-President Jack Abernethy
It was the culture of FOX. Hopefully things are better now.
Personally I wish some billionaire would buy FOX News and fire most of the opinion talking heads.
Veteran detective Tom Brannick is still looking for his wife who disappeared 20 years earlier. Her possible assassin, code-named Goliath, might be back.
It’s well done. But too dark for me to continue to season 2.
