Mila Kunis Leads Netflix’s Mystery Adaptation of “Luckiest Girl Alive”

If you’re looking to start a new cozy mystery series, here you go! Madison Montgomery comes into a three-part inheritance from her great aunt: a house, a bakery, and a giant English Mastiff. She’ll just have to move to New Bison, Michigan, which she’s down for considering she just had a public disaster she’d like to forget. What she doesn’t realize is she’ll not only need to get to know this small town, a new business, and taking care of a dog, but also solve a murder when the Mayor is murdered and the knife has Madison’s fingerprints on it…

The author of The Feather Thief is back with another work of narrative nonfiction! What culminates in the largest settlement in U.S. history from a citizen environmental suit started in Seadrift, Texas in the late 1970s. Vietnamese refugees arrival in the small fishing town angered the white fisherman which escalated into a self-defense shooting that put an even bigger target on the Vietnamese community, including from the KKK which promised violence if they didn’t all leave. And if that wasn’t enough, it’s all intersected with water pollution from companies and the ties of environmental justice and racial justice.

Johnson’s The Feather Thief was my first narrative nonfic that I was like “this can’t possibly be as interesting as it sells itself to be” and let me tell you it was super interesting. That book put me on the path of true crime books that were fascinating and led me to Patrick Radden Keefe‘s nonfiction so The Fisherman And The Dragon‘s audiobook (narrated by David Lee Huynh) is high on my TBR list. Especially since I love reading and watching docuseries about events in history that were never given the attention they deserved.
