“She craved a tall glass of the fresh-squeezed lemonade from the pitcher she’d left chilling in the fridge. Two glasses served with a generous slice of pound cake with orange glaze icing sounded twice as nice.”

“Quote taken from Chapter 1:
"The police should be in it, not us. We’re out of here.” Bill did an about-face to retrace their route to the door.
Piper whipped out a hand and snagged him by the shirttail. Her tone returned to crisp and decisive. “Slow down, Roadrunner. I’m not ready to leave. We’ve got work to do.”
Incredulous, he stared gape-mouthed at her. “You'd better explain,” he said.
She wiggled her nose. “I’m growing nosier by the second about the circumstances surrounding Anna’s murder.”

“Isabel and Alma Trumbo are the sisters who reside in the brick rambler on Church Street. They are a bit, uh, different and unorthodox. Borderline eccentric, some of the townies say, especially Alma.”
“What do the borderline eccentric sisters Isabel and Alma know about solving a murder case?”
Dwight gave it a moment’s reflection. “They could probably write a book about it.”

“I picked up the butter-soft suede shirt and slacks and held them toward Martucci, but he bent over, grabbing at his stomach, and made it into the dark little cubicle in time to vomit into the toilet. He ran the small trickle of water in the sink over his hands, dabbed water on his face, then blotted himself on the rough paper towels. Within the next five minutes, he was dressed and deposited in the rear seat of my car between Haley and Finn. Vito, who had scared the living hell out of the hustler before giving him a kick in the ass out the hotel's side door, sat next to me as I drove. Vito was breathing heavily; it was the only sound in the car.”

I finally saw the new movie with Tom Cruise as Reacher. I liked it OK, but Cruise is no Reacher!"
I saw a clip of a scene on TV, and I have to agree with you.

Hi Alex,

Thank you, Melissa. I hope you find it an enjoyable crime fiction read.
Thank you for the friend invite. Sorry if I didn't respond. Have a great weekend!
Thank you!

Hi Alex,
I'm not sure what you mean by electronic format. The Dirt-Brown Derby, Pelham Fell Here, and Out of Town For a Few Days are all available as e-books. None of my books right now are out in audio. Thanks for asking.

Thank you for the friend add, Cora, and sharing your reading list. I just finished Double Indemnity and loved it. Please consider flagging my books as To Be Read, if you do that. Have a great Sunday.
Your P.I. Frank Johnson series sounds great. I can't wait to read!

Thanks for the friendship.

Little baby on the hay,
soon there'll be another day
when nails shall pierce Your hands
and feet as You provide our sin's defeat.
Risen Jesus on the throne,
we lift our praise to You alone-
for You're the gift that we receive
the moment that our hearts believe.

This Christmas,as you consider all the awesome things that have come to you through Jesus,God's perfect gift,remember that it is but a taste of all the goods things that are yet to come.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Thanks for friending me on Goodreads. Hope your week is off to a good start....
Most of my reading material is good. I have pretty diverse interests so I can get into reading just about anything. Lately, it seems I have not had the time I would like to sit down and get into a good book. Hopefully that will change here soon.
