as characters change and develop and plots make back references.

Midwest locations of endless corn and bean fields in the earlier books. State fair with everything deep fried on a stick. Muskie fishing with mosquitos. Twin cities. Outlaw country music. Farmhouses with ancient lilac bushes.

Contemporary plots and tech.

Main characters Lucas and Virgil (in prey series and his own series crossover) are not perfect superheros which makes them more interesting with some humor.

Interesting female characters: Weather and Frankie. Elle and Lettie (who is getting her own series now she’s all grown up).

A few of the titles are a little too dark for me.

After you read the series, you can revisit favorites for old home week.

Edit: Sandford as a crime reporter in his early years which adds strong realism.
