The Donald wants to attend every sidebar: juror tampering, delay tactic, or 'looming'?
MSM floated a report that Trump might stand with counsel during sidebars, likely to close the nonverbal distance between him and potential jurors. Intimidation or getting “vibes” like a knowing wink? More stunts. Perhaps even clumsy micromanaging....

	Tony Hillerman's Joe Leaphorn and Jim Chee Navaho mysteries deal with the Navaho Tribal Police and the conflicts with the white man’s law. I lived in New Mexico as a child and Hillerman really captures the lives and beliefs of the Navaho people.

	Rhys Bowen’s mysteries about 1930's impoverished blue blood Georgie are rather light hearted and a fun read. She spends much of her time spying for the Queen on her son David and Wallis Simpson.
2%	1 votes
	Rhys Bowen’s early 1900s series with Irish immigrant Molly Murphy are more serious but give a fascinating look at the era and the prejudices the Irish faced.

	Gyles Brandreth writes turn of the century books and the detectives are Oscar Wilde and Arthur Conan Doyle. Normally I'm not terribly fond of "real person" type detective stories but he has captured the wit of Oscar Wilde so well I'm enjoying them.

	Simon Brett’s writes about Mrs. Pargetter who is the widow of a businessman who leaves as his most valuable possession his little black book of names of people who helped him in his career of crime. The books sparkle with that dry British wit.
5%	2 votes
	Simon Brett’s newer series are the Fethering mysteries with Carol and Jude. These feature a classic odd couple with straight laced Carol who is retired from the British Government and Jude as her free spirited holistic healer neighbor.

	Andrew Greeley's Bishop Blackie books are very good. They give you the politics involved in Chicago, the Catholic Church and Irish Americans. Father Greeley is actually a Catholic priest and the hierarchy is not exactly pleased with his "radical" views.

	Andrew Greeley’s Nuala Anne series stars an Irish folksinger with psychic abilities. There are parallel mysteries from Irish and Irish American history in the books and are a fascinating read.
