Lucas Lucas Lucas, you my friend are a very interesting character. I have come to love you in a special way. You might be a sociopath too but at least you're on the right side of the law. It's a pleasure going back to this world in between my other reads. Lucas and his team make me laugh over and over. I've spoken about their camaraderie in a few of my reviews but I have to say it again. I'm entertained by them. I know them all now. Now, the crazy one this time is James Qatar. He is crazy. He en...
John Sanford is my go-to author when all other books fail to interest me. I have read the series twice and I'm on my third trip through. Love his structure, characters and stories. I wish I wrote as well.David Putnam, Author of the Bruno Johnson series.
I'm reading these books in order and loving every minute of it. To me - this book is a 3 star read- I wish Davenport wasn't with Weather- but I could wish all I want - she is here to stay . Having said that this book was a fast read, ok read- not the best- so why the 4 stars? Well, simply the series is just amazing so because of that , I added the other star. John Sandford does an amazing job with all these stories, and looking forward to getting into book 13 !!
This was an enjoyable, well-paced entry in the Prey series, but it's also the only one thus far where I remember being impatient with Lucas for having missed something. Sandford is usually a master plot technician, great at constructing believably complicated mysteries and believable human errors, but here I just hit a wall where I can't buy that Lucas would interview Mrs. Qatar, an elderly woman linked to an unusual number of victims, and fail to take note of her mentioning her son who works in...
Excellent stuff. The antagonist probably isn’t gonna make it into the Davenport hall of fame but he was creepy and skilled enough to hang with the big boys/girls and the book as a whole was obsessively readable. The banter in these books only gets better. So many likable characters and hilarious coworker conversations. A most satisfying entry in the series if not a top fiver.
I'm reading through the whole, "Prey," series. Chosen Prey, is not Sandford at his best. There is an excellent interview with the author on the audio version worth a listen. 6 of 10 stars
2nd read - Lucas is pulled into a strange case involving a decomposing body on a hillside. As the bodies pile up, it appears we have a serial killer. A crusty lawman joins Lucas's posse, looking for his lost niece and a few other young, blond ladies who've disappeared.I really enjoyed the police procedure, as our heroes try to tie the ends together. Some readers think this antagonist is one of Sandford's weakest, but in hindsight, he makes few mistakes, leaving Davenport frustrated.I had to re-r...
Twelfth in the Lucas Davenport thriller series and revolving around an unorthodox cop in Minneapolis. It's been a year since Easy Prey , 11.My TakeWhat I like about this series is that it's standard mystery/thriller reading, but Sandford's characters come out so real. That encounter between Lucas and Jeff Baxter was great. They could be talking about golf or tennis, but they're batting around ideas for a deal for a scumbag that Baxter is representing. There are the political issues when Rose
