He arrives on a sweltering summer day, walking down a dusty Kansas road in a black suit, white shirt, and shiny black shoes. He insinuates himself into a murder investigation while he is on vacation. Still Life With Crows was my first experience of Pendergast, but it won't be my last. Pendergast is very weird, but in a way that I found strangely endearing. The descriptions of the town, its people, the landscape and the final chase that takes place as a tornado builds are so vivid that I could see it all happening in my mind as though I was watching a movie. Very enjoyable and highly recommended.
