Anatomy of a Murder

bailed

Ex DA becomes criminal lawyer, takes on a murder case - the client did shoot and kill the person, it is a matter of how to defend him. Writing is good, it is just too slow (although introduction lets the reader know this is not like the TV dramas, it is more realistic and not as action packed). One person waiting for the ebook – I am happy to return it early and let someone else read it 😊
Make a great day everyone 😎

dabbe I loved the movie, but maybe I'll skip the book! #hailthebail! 🤩🤩🤩 5mo

bthegood @dabbe didn't know there was a movie - will have to try that at some point 🙂 5mo

dabbe @bthegood Oh, it's good. It stars Jimmy Stewart. It's free if you have an Amazon Prime membership. Otherwise, it rents for around $3.99 on most streaming apps. 😊 5mo

Thanks for the tag @Deblovestoread and thanks for hosting @dabbe

I earned a 20% - I don't usually remember a songs title or even artist, but I'll know the song when I hear it - so I think I knew more than my score reflects 😊

As for music in general (and some names I saw on the list) - any Fleetwood Mac, Queen, or Janet Jackson will make me smile 🎸

Make a great day everyone 😎

dabbe That's why I had to create a Spotify list; I'm horrible at song names! I probably scored 10 more just be giving a quick listen! Thanks for playing and sharing! 🤩🤩🤩 5mo

Tamra So fun! 🎉🎉 Echo @AlaMich ! 🦟 If MI has been as wet as MN, we‘re in for a doozy of a bug season. 😬 6mo

Jess_Read_This That‘s so neat and sounds like a lot of fun! Chiming in with @Tamra and @AlaMich pack all the bug spray and citronella. I‘m in SE Michigan and the deer flies/earwigs have descended on my house like a biblical plague. The UP is so beautiful. I hope you have a terrific time! (edited) 6mo

💙 I'm a small town gal. Grew up in a small college town in Illinois, then left to go to college in a different small college town in Michigan, and have been a Michigander ever since.
💙Anatomy of a Murder is set in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, where I reside, and the film was shot in the UP, too. (Highly recommend both)
💙Adding a bonus book: The Overstory by Richard Powers. He was born and raised in my hometown in Illinois.

A view of Upper Michigan country justice in the 1950s. Full of “aw shucks” moments from a good ole country lawyer, but a good attorney nonetheless. The working of the case is superb and a good read. The perceived value of women (or lack of)is quite eye opening as well. Thank goodness we no longer all have to be like June Cleaver!!
