This is my first John Sandford (and Lucas Davenport book). It is a decent mystery -- I'm not exactly mindblown with it but I do think that it has the potential to develop. Of course, this is also was released back in 1989 and there are 20+ books afterwards so there MUST be developments *lol*. Anyway...
BLUF: I didn’t find the main character appealing.I feel guilty writing reviews of books that were written in the late ‘80s, early ‘90s. It was a whole different world back then. I would love to get into some of these popular author’s books, but they seem to be mostly in series from this time and I j...
This book is just a hot mess. I get it was the first book in the series, and it was written in 1989, but damn. You would think that Lucas Davenport hates women based on his actions in this book.Let's get to the plot first.A serial killer is raping and murdering women in Minnesota. We don't know who ...
I've said it before - mostly when people are complaining that romance is unrealistic fantasy for the ladies - and I'll say it again: the thriller is the male version of a romance novel. Think about it: in romance novels, the heroine is often a bit of a plain jane, the average woman with imperfecti...
It's been a while since I've posted. I'm not dead, just lazy enough to appear to be so. Sorry I haven't kept up with all of you. But I have been reading and here is what I've been reading:The Way of the Knife: The CIA, A Secret Army, and a War at the Ends of the Earth by Mark Mazzetti★★★★✩ A fascina...
The first in the multi-book series revolving around rock-star cop Lucas Davenport. Good, entertaining. I can't help imagining Clancy Brown in the role of Lucas - he'd be perfect!
5 starsI really love reading pure suspense books (not romantic suspense), it was my favorite genre before I got sucked in by romance books. So, I decided to try this series, as a change of pace. Good decision.Right now, I'm up to book seven, and I liked (a lot) every single one of those books.Lucas ...
The summary in the back of the book builds this as a kind of duel between cop and serial killer, and so whether you are held by this book depends upon your reaction to those two characters. In the introduction, Sandford himself says of his police detective protagonist that "cops don't act like Lucas...
Truly one of the most suspenseful crime fiction books I've read in ages, this one is filled with twists and turns that are guaranteed to make you want to keep reading more. Unlike many crime fiction stories, this one did not contain a great deal of foreshadowing, I really hate knowing where a plot ...
