There is also the 'unseen' romance like paths of glory and hell! EVERYTHING that you could ask for.

Where the Bible Mentions "Sins of the Father"

I read all the series by JA Jance and they are such a comfortable, pleasant read. Well, they are all mysteries where there is often murder and some horrible things happen to people. But I love the style and the characters, who are so familiar to me. Harry meanwhile writes a diary about his time in prison. When one of his fellow inmates, Max Lloyd, is released, he requests Harry to keep sending him diaries as he enjoys reading them a lot. Max publishes them in his own name. Emma reads the 'Diary of a Convict' and recognizes Harry's handiwork. She begins to try and meet him in prison but the warden says that Harry/Tom has been mysteriously transferred. Harry and Pat are recruited by the US army to cause mayhem behind enemy lines.

The book has a sort of 'fairy tale' vibe since the 'good guys' - though they face much uncertainty and hardship - generally prevail. And the 'bad guys' - who tend to be stereotypes (brutal bully; unscrupulous lawyer; greedy businessmen; etc.) - usually get what they deserve. In addition, who would believe Harry, who has an upper-class British accent, is an American? Still, I like the story so I'm willing to suspend disbelief (a little). He assumes the identity of another man,spends time in prison,writes a book and fights in World War II.For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments” ( Deuteronomy 5:9-10). The Bible Does, Indeed, Teach That Sin Has Consequences The phrase, unexamined, has led some to foolishly charge the Almighty with a capricious nature. Some might even be led to think that a philosophy of determinism is evident in the Bible. Nothing could be further from the truth. God does not will suffering upon human beings. God is just and righteous in all of his ways. Determinism is a pagan philosophy. Such a view of God and His universe has nothing to do with the doctrine of predestination or the sovereignty of God. I enjoy Beau and was immersed in the story of what happened to Naomi and her boyfriend and what real estate shenanigans were going on in a rapidly gentrifying West Seattle. However, the immense wealth Beau has allows him to throw money at problems, which really lowers the stakes in the story. I didn't see this come up quite as much when he was still with SPD and then with the WA State Attorney's special investigation unit, but as a private investigator, Beau can handle his cases really differently and it takes away some of the tension. I hope Beau's next case is set in Bellingham instead of his well-trodden Seattle turf, and forces him into some conflicts with BPD and his wife, the police chief. We could get to know a whole new cast of characters and not rely so much on Beau's past and the SPD connections he has.
