Hiding in plain sight


Day two of a long week...

Tonight on TV, This Is Us,"The Beginning is the End is the Beginning":


 
Kevin arrives at the Ville his father served in. Kate pursues a new opportunity. Randall debates Councilman Solomon Brown. In the past, Jack struggles to get through to his brother.

Hunh, Christmas break Fall Finales are starting. Bah.

Also tonight, I haven't mentioned because I haven't fully been watching the new episodes yet, The Curse of Oak Island, "Depth Perception":


The seismic results reveal the existence of a mysterious underground chamber; Gary and Jack make a discovery suggesting another Templar connection...


I finished ETHAN OF ATHOS last night. Now reading DARK SACRED NIGHT by Michael Connelly. 2nd of 2 in series featuring Renée Ballard, a young detective in Hollywood, California, demoted to night shift (31st of the Bosch Universe as they're calling all three series).

Detective Renée Ballard is working the night beat--known in LAPD slang as "the late show"--and returns to Hollywood Station in the early hours to find a stranger rifling through old file cabinets. The intruder is retired detective Harry Bosch, working a cold case that has gotten under his skin. Ballard can't let him go through department records, but when he leaves, she looks into the case herself and feels a deep tug of empathy and anger. She has never been the kind of cop who leaves the job behind at the end of her shift--and she wants in. The murder, unsolved, was of fifteen-year-old Daisy Clayton, a runaway on the streets of Hollywood who was brutally killed, her body left in a dumpster like so much trash. Now Ballard joins forces with Bosch to find out what happened to Daisy, and to finally bring her killer to justice. Along the way, the two detectives forge a fragile trust, but this new partnership is put to the test when the case takes an unexpected and dangerous turn.

Published 2018; 444 pages. 


That's about it for today. Have a good one




Much love,
