There is no character like Mitch Rapp. He's the ultimate hero. Vince Flynn left us with a one of a kind character, and Kyle Mills takes on his legacy. I wish Kyle all the best because it's a formidable task. I'll be reading, and I can't wait.

Lord, please bless all of Kyle Mills' efforts to continue Vince's work. A noble task. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.

When a wicked man dies, his hope perishes;

   all he expected from his power comes to nothing.

Hawaii Five-0 begins tonight at 9 PM on CBS. Looking forward to an interesting season.

Right behind Five-0 is Blue Bloods at 10 PM. Would like to see the Commissioner return to a more sympathetic character.

After 15 seasons, CSI is leaving with a 2-hour finale on Sunday at 9 PM. This series survived multiple cast changes and never let down. Truly good acting, some great writing, and fascinating forensics. It's been an amazing run, and television loses an exceptional program with its final episode.

Lord, as always, may they know who's given them their incredible talent. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.

Returning Thursday nights in early November, Elementary resumes after a stunning series finale in May. Leaving viewers with a desolate feeling following the finale, it will be intriguing to see how the writers continue the storyline. Jonny Lee Miller and Lucy Liu are superbly cast for this unique interpretation of the Sherlock Holmes and Watson characters.

Father, I always ask you to reach these talented individuals. They're as desperate for you as the rest of us – whether any of us realize it or not. Thank you for your benevolence, grace, and forgiveness. In the Name of Jesus, Amen. 

                            Simple, functional beauty.

Lord, thank you for craftsmanship in all areas. Thank you for creative abilities given generously. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.

    NCIS Fall Premiere tonight on CBS. A favorite of many.

 
NCIS New Orleans follows the original NCIS on Tuesday nights.

Lord, bless these actors with the knowledge of who you truly are and how much you love them. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.

Some readers are aware of the Italian book known as The Comedy, The Divine Comedy, and/or Dante's Inferno written by Dante Alighieri. If you follow the link, you'll get all the information you need that isn't provided in Casey Hill's second book in the CSI Reilly Steel Thriller Series. (It should be noted that Torn is the Irish title with a different cover used for this novel.)

Reilly Steel, the American CSI in Ireland, must solve some gory murders with little to no evidence left behind. What do some spicy food remnants and some horse feed found in a footprint plus a strong definitive smell lingering at each scene indicate? There is a drowning in a septic tank to start things off and it only gets murkier from there.

The two homicide detectives Reilly works with feel stymied and frustrated as their boss continues to apply pressure to their investigation. The Dublin media nicknames the killer "The Punisher", and it isn't until the flamboyant London profiler arrives to set off the insults to the detectives while applying a meaningful method to the killer's madness that Reilly begins to piece together a few nuances to the search. One of her lab techs takes the investigation to a new level but is reprimanded and thanked at the same time.  

Chris, the detective who helped Reilly in the first book, is again experiencing severe symptoms from a mysterious "disease". They're becoming more debilitating to the point where his job is affected. Reilly suspects they've come back, but there's also something else plaguing the detective and giving him a sharp edge to this investigation once they realize the defining reason for all the killings.

Although the Kindle copy of Inferno/Torn is fairly riddled with typos, namely missing or repeated words, it's a good story with unique subplots and plenty of forensic yuck and cool examination – if you like that sort of thing. I enjoy Reilly's personality which inhabits bold and vulnerable in equal doses. The reader senses and appreciates her commitment and determination to go beyond the borders of each case, to not give in to doubts or failures, and her attempts to keep peace in conflict. The writing duo of "Casey Hill" keeps peripheral characters interesting and brings compelling suspicions to the mystery along the way.

I recommend this series for those readers who enjoy good mysteries with forensic emphasis. Some profanity.

Father, please continue to bless Kevin and Melissa Hill for their efforts and may they know the source of all creativity. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.

The memory of the righteous will be a blessing,

   but the name of the wicked will rot.

Hmm. What five things shall we do? How about random likes?

Lord, you're so generous and gracious. I love you, Lord. And am always desperate for you. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
