Marlowe

 I recently watched the movie Marlowe. The movie stars Liam Neeson as the private detective, Philip Marlowe. Set in 1939: Neeson’s character is hired to find a missing man. That is the MacGuffin.  There’s even a MacGuffin within.the MacGuffin. Unfortunately, Neeson is too old for the role of the fist fighting,  machine gun toting detective. At least twice in the movie, the two love interests acknowledge that. One of those is played by Jessica Lange, who is superb as the Gloria Swanson like character.

It’s not a bad movie, the sets are perfect and the supporting cast set the right tone. It’s on Netflix. I rate it C+

My Books

 If you have some extra time off work and need to find a new book to read,consider buying one of my four mystery novels, Dead in the Water, A Reservation for Murder, The China Connection and A Rainy Night in Georgia. To some degree these books predicted the onslaught of  illegal drugs from China.

All of the books have excellent editorial reviews on Amazon and are available for purchase there and the Barnes and Noble wcbsite.  I think you will be surprised how prescient they were

Happy New Year🎇
