  • I’m about to read book 21 of the Inspector Alleyn series by Ngaio Marsh, False Scent.

    If you end up liking the first Jack Reacher book, then I would recommend the first season of Reacher (I think on Prime). It takes some liberties, but follows the story reasonably well. And has an actual large guy playing Reacher, not Tom Cruise.

    Keep in mind there were a few years between me reading the first book and watching season 1, so I might’ve spotted more differences had I experienced them back to back.











  • It sounds like it might be another form of poor tax.

    Your license/inspection is expired (possibly because you either couldn’t afford to renew it, or couldn’t take the day off to renew it) = given a fine.

    Misses a payment, because they already couldn’t afford the fine = given another fine and a court date.

    Have to show up in court, but can’t, again for the same reason you never renewed your license or paid the fine = given yet another fine.

    It just seems like it is intended to snowball due to greed. But maybe I’m wrong and just excessively jaded and cynical.
