Halfway through, pretty entertaining.

Finished "Enemy of the State" (latest in the Mitch Rapp series) =  waytogo

and then read "The Razor's Edge" by Somerset Maugham...

Wow. GREAT read!  One of the best books of fiction (although loosely based upon some events/peeps in Mr Maugham's life) I have read in a long time...  had never read any of his books previously, but will definitely be reading more of his work = good stuff.

"The Naturalist" by Andrew Mayne =  waytogo

"Professor Theo Cray is trained to see patterns where others see chaos. So when mutilated bodies found deep in the Montana woods leave the cops searching blindly for clues, Theo sees something they missed. Something unnatural. Something only he can stop.

As a computational biologist, Theo is more familiar with digital code and microbes than the dark arts of forensic sleuthing. But a field trip to Montana suddenly lands him in the middle of an investigation into the bloody killing of one of his former students. As more details, and bodies, come to light, the local cops determine that the killer is either a grizzly gone rogue…or Theo himself. Racing to stay one step ahead of the police, Theo must use his scientific acumen to uncover the killer. Will he be able to become as cunning as the predator he hunts—before he becomes its prey?"

Also reading "Principles" by Ray Dalio (someone that I admire greatly) = good/great read so far!

Killers of the Flower Moon by David Grann

I liked Lost City of Z so much, figured I'd check out another of his books... good book, well done, a little slower to get into than Z, but intriguing story.

from Amazon:
"In the 1920s, the Osage found themselves in a unique position among Native Americans tribes. As other tribal lands were parceled out in an effort by the government to encourage dissolution and assimilation of both lands and culture, the Osage negotiated to maintain the mineral rights for their corner of Oklahoma, creating a kind of “underground reservation.” It proved a savvy move; soon countless oil rigs punctured the dusty landscape, making the Osage very rich. And that’s when they started dying.

You’d think the Osage Indian Reservation murders would have been a bigger story, one as familiar as the Lindbergh kidnapping or Bonnie and Clyde. It has everything, but at scale: Execution-style shootings, poisonings, and exploding houses drove the body count to over two dozen, while private eyes and undercover operatives scoured the territory for clues. Even as legendary and infamous oil barons vied for the most lucrative leases, J. Edgar Hoover’s investigation – which he would leverage to enhance both the prestige and power of his fledgling FBI - began to overtake even the town’s most respected leaders..."
