“20:45 Then in the audience of all the people he said unto his disciples, 20:46 Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts; 20:47 Which devour widows’ houses, and for a shew make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation.” (Luke)
From The King James Version of the Bible

The Investigator
Loved the Prey and subsequent serials so far.
“Except for the cluster of taller structures downtown, Midland was a flat city, with mid-century single-story houses in sun-faded colors in the residential areas, lots of pickup trucks, burnt lawns, and metal business buildings with miles of chain-link fences around them.” Page 71.
The Oil Patch. Midland-Odessa, West Texas. Perfect description.
It’s sort like the land that time forgot.
Lucas Davenport is the protagonist of the Prey series. He has fictional, adopted daughter. This is her story. For Minnesota narrative, seems they do appreciate the idiosyncrasies of Texas.
Good story, timely, and has those elements I expect from the author. Fast-paced, zips along.
Rollicking good ride. Highly recommended as an adjunct to the Prey series, a Virgil Flowers fan, or just as fun, pointed action-adventure on its own.

Easter

Louise Penny
One of the various book feeds I get highly recommend a recent Louise Penny book, number something-or-other in this series. So, back to the start. I just had such good luck reading a series in order, and over the years, this name keeps popping up as literary fiction, of a thriller variety. Cop procedural, to use the TV moniker. Murder mystery?
Still Life seemed to be the first in the series.
One author, a passage in one of his books, suggested that his character would take up astrology, and writing cozy murder-mysteries.
Now I get the reference.
