#1 Truly, you don’t get more lurider than this.

#2 If you tried to sell it as a crime movie screenplay, it would be considered too unbelievable, even though the villain of the story is a white guy.

#3 Totally in Netfix territory.

#4 ...This is going to get well and truly ugly - the Murdaugh family was, to put it gently, 'entitled', and there's a LOT of questions as to whether or not Alex was completely honest with the court as to whether or not he's accounted for all his funds. (And just to be on the safe side, the state has frozen his surviving son's accounts too.)

State Law Enforcement Division - a state police agency that answers ONLY to the Governor, and has the kind of reputation for honesty, integrity, and ferocity that the FBI used to have - is going over everything this guy touched, because there's a feeling he might have been fixing cases. His family law firm 86'd him, a friend who worked at a large local bank was helping him steal and quite possibly launder money, and the Feds are keeping an eye on that.

#5 If you believe you couldn't sell it as a crime story script, you never seen Blood Simple.

#6 ^ One of my absolute favorites. The plot can best be described as everyone double-crosses one another until there's only one person left.

Fantastic film.

#7 The Murdaugh story has elements of Double Indemnity, too

#8 ^ Seen The Outfit, MM? It was such a refreshing change from all the candy ass limpdickery nowadays. Old school.

#9 No, but it's on my list. I mostly read crime novels when I'm not reading history, biography or technical literature. I've read all of Westlake, so I'm sure I will like it.
