We prefer cozy mysteries, so my husband and I watched one on BritBox instead of following Tuesday’s election results. In this Lynley episode, the killer stays under the radar until halfway through. He inscribes the stigmata on his victims. He captures Detective Inspector Lynley’s girlfriend, who escapes, but decides Lynley’s too risky to be around.
I suppose the American people did something similar in this election when they recognized that the president is like a bad boyfriend: risky, unpredictable. In future episodes, Lynley’s girlfriend will reconsider. Several times.
Hell, we might be back with Trump next week. Possibly next month.
