Round 144, can you believe it?
This week, out to everyone was The South Boston Boys, the final instalment in Some Lawyers latest literary masterpiece. Was The Warriors really inspiring violence in the spring of 1979, or did it simply provide a convenient justification? What does a hitchhiker’s “ride of terror” have to do with two college students kidnapped four years earlier, a young man left to drown in a sewer in 1973, and a handful of men who grew up within blocks of one another in South Boston? Find out.
Paid subscribers had a gem land in their inbox with a stunning piece of intrigue brought to us by guest writer Sheila Wille: A History of Dusty Holes: The Tantalizing Nature of the Not-There. How do you prove that something is missing? What do an abortifacient flower, ancient flying machines, Isaac Newton’s apocalyptic fixations and a book called Our Dolphin Ancestors tell us about the knowledge humanity loses, suppresses or simply neglects to write down? Let’s go look into some dusty holes.
What Kennedy Recommends
Furious
Typically, I’m not a fan of crime dramas, so when this came across my desk, I shrugged. Then I kept hearing about it and the FOMO got to me. I’m so glad it did.
The series follows Alice, a homicide detective turned FBI hotline operator. When she’s called in to help investigate the murder of a wealthy man, she realizes that it’s connected to another case she worked on a year prior. The main suspect of both is a young woman. As Alice gets pulled further into the case, it becomes clear that she and the killer exist as two sides of the same coin.
I’m a sucker for a female character that isn’t written to be likeable, redeemable or understandable. So, Furious has been perfect for me. Maybe it’ll be perfect for you too. Check it out.
Stay tuned.
We’ll be back.
Love,
Your Bullshit Hunting Crew
