Only half of a book, and a repulsive one at thatReview of the Audible Audio edition (2019) narrated by Richard FerroneTW = brutal violence, cannibalism, assaultI’m not going to bury the lead here. This book mostly consists of several set pieces where Lucas Davenport and the U.S. Marshals with occasional other police forces are closing in on/and or confronting the villains. These scenes are then completely repeated from the other point of view i.e. first we get the police side in its entirety and...
I have never been disappointed by a John Sandford novel. But with this book, I am flabbergasted.

I continue to believe that Davenport's new running buddies, Bob and Rae, are a pale substitute for the rich characters like Sloan, Del, Shrake and others who inhabited the earlier novels. Additionally, Sandford has long been known for creating compl...
I received a free advance copy of this from NetGalley for review.What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. And if what happens is that you get eaten by a cannibal while there you'll definitely be staying in Vegas.Clayton Deese was an enforcer/hired killer for a loan shark in New Orleans who gets arrested after one of his jobs go wrong. Since Deese has a lot of skeletons in his closet he jumps bail and disappears. Actually, the skeletons are in graves behind his house, and Deese had a habit of cutti...
Lucas Davenport doesn’t do snakes. Neither do I! Thank goodness, the threat of snakes does not materialize until....Can’t tell that part, can I? Davenport, a former Minneapolis police detective and BCA investigator, is now with the U.S. Marshalls based in his home city of Minneapolis. He’s wealthy, thanks to a gaming system he developed. When he’s called upon to assist with a case involving a serial killer for hire, he is happy to be reunited with his old pals, Bob Matee and Rae Givens. Their jo...
