Ladles out, forks out ... ‘Knives Out’?

Ira Porter
Education Writer

A great mystery should leave us satisfied at the end, like the right turkey for the folks round the Thanksgiving table. 

Today, film critic Peter Rainer gives us something to look forward to as Americans prepare to break from work and gather in gratitude. Sauces, sides, and secrets? The popular “Knives Out” series, starring Daniel Craig as the peculiar sleuth Benoit Blanc, is back. And its new installment might be the best of the three, Peter writes. I’m sold. I’m thankful for family, friends, and a delightful dramatic escape. May the plot thicken like a well-stewed cranberry sauce!

Also: Our “Why We Wrote This” podcast is back this week. Kendra Nordin Beato talks about reporting her story on cranberry growers, and revives a broader conversation about Thanksgiving history.
