Book three in the series and I am liking Lucas Davenport more and more. In one of my earlier reviews I described him as morally bereft. He is getting better in this regard although he still has a way to go. He has another event in this book where anger management therapy would be advisable but he still manages to be charming and smart as his depression starts to lift.Eyes of Prey has an excellent story line with two totally reprehensible murderers and a lot of blood and gore. Lucas manages to ri...
This review spoils the events in the first two books in the series, so skip over if you don't want to be spoiled. Though I think I am doing a PSA by spoiling this book anyway, for those that may hate themselves enough to start reading this series. After a brutal murder of a woman in her home (and seriously, I can do without anymore horrible murders perpetuated by men against women for a while now) a witness is left who saw the murderer. Lucas is called up to help lead the investigation. The capt...
Here in book three, the author has taken you to a different place crime wise or murder wise. The scenes and descriptions are more intense, gruesome. By having such a vile murder Lucas must catch this person so you have him stretched emotionally and here in this story you have him break when he beats a pimp up. He is also dealing with suicidal thoughts and maybe the years of being a cop and the stress is getting to him. A good look into the Davenport character and part of the rest of the story fl...
I have enjoyed many of Sandford’s books, particularly those featuring Virgil Flowers (that f***ing Flowers). I came to the Prey series in the later entries, and am glad for it. I doubt I would have been as interested in this series had I begun with Eyes of Prey. While it is well written, and perhaps because it was one of the earlier books in this very long running and successful series, I figured I would like it as much as the later entries. I was wrong. It is a good book, no doubt, but it just
Sandford offers up a ‘double header’ with not just one, but two psychopathic killers—the Beauty and the Beast. Lieutenant Lucas Davenport is more vulnerable in this third offering of the highly successful series. The plot is darker than his previous two novels, but it is also more cohesive. [Warning—the murders are described quite graphically—definitely not suitable for the squeamish.]The Lieutenant delivers his own ‘justice’ entirely too often and too violently in this thriller written nearly t...
This might be the best one yet. I thought it was good all the way through, although the bad guy was a little too weird, but Lucas was very well done. He's not a complete Iron Man, but the way depression is handled & described is perfect. And then, there is the very end. Wow! I did not see that coming. Usually I have a clue & there were several, but I missed them since it wasn't the major thread. It was handled just beautifully. I can't gush enough. I was just stunned & still am. Masterful.I'm re...
