Tonight I watched a most wonderful true life murder mystery.

The setting is County Essex England, and the title is "The Murders at White House Farm", a 2020 production now showing on Max.

The murders were of a family:  A father, mother, daughter and two grandsons.  The police chief was resolute that this was a murder-suicide committed by the daughter who had mental problems.  The grandsons were the daughter's children.

An adopted son reported that something bad was happening at the family farm, and that set into motion a sloppy investigation that one Detective Sergeant would not drop despite threats by his superiors.

True story.  Six parts.  Chilling.

I.hope their parents see it and do something to stop this behavior before they're injured or cause an injury or car accident.

I hope someone can get their license plate number and post that, too.

I met one resolution tonight. I learned the Electric Slide. Still need to learn the Footloose line dance.

And finished Michael Cunningham’s new novel, Day, which I liked much better than The Hours.

That was my 153rd book of the year, not counting two of the three times that I read Kritzer World and the same with Preview Harvey.

Sorry it took so long, DR vixmom, but at least a happy ending, of sorts.

Not.



Wow!  That's quite the festive image!

Cookys have less calories than cookies.

Even with cookies, if they're broken cookies, the calories apparently fly out.

Of course!

That's a great way of thinking! :))
