Major Crimes: Someone Really Likes A Good Walk Spoiled!

Thanks to reader Diane for spotting the golf books evident in the culminating scene of Monday night's Major Crimes on TNT titled "All In," where kids dredging golf balls from a country club lake run into a body.

An investigation ensues and in the big arrest scene, the victim's wife (and the culprit) gets the cuffs put on her as she stares into the family library. Included are some 1990s coffee table book classics: Grand Slam, Golf Courses Of The PGA Tour and Golf Digest's 100 Greatest Courses.

But the real kicker? Both a paperback and hardcover edition of John Feinstein's bestseller, A Good Walk Spoiled. Good to see murderers have such impeccable taste in literature!

I ran into a certain someone affiliated with the show at a destination golf club a few years back....he's an avid golfer....maybe they filmed the episode at his house.

Oh, and Spoiler Alert on the arrest in the epsode! :-) The show is on my DVR, for sometime in the near future.
TV production folk often place props, pics, items with meaning to an intended few, in the backgrounds of sets. And sometimes actors throw things in to send inside "pokes" to one another. (Less so with films, as the screen is larger and such plants are prone to distract...). In fact, there is almost a cottage industry of "de-coders" to tell one and all what the secret messages are. One ongoing funny one recently was Stephen Colbert's picture of House on his set's shelves being returned with a pic of Colbert on a table in the bg of a House episode. Costumers rag each other by putting certain clothing items on actors in compromised positions. Spurned lovers get in jabs at ex's, etc, etc... Larry David often does golf things, btw.

Thats a Golf Digest book. She killed someone seeing Alotian was ranked in the top 20.

Not guilty by reason of insanity.

I'm a little disturbed by the lady's six-pack throat.
