Rae said “You sounded . . . smart . . . up there. In the meeting. Like a smart cop. With a hard nose. Giving shit to the feds.” “Why not? I am smart,” Virgil said. “You hide it well."😂 Love this series and even more so with Virgil's (from Virgil Flowers Series) help to take down the bad guys. Ocean Prey takes place in South Florida with drug smuggling plot. Lucas, a US Marshal was called in after three coast guards were killed. Lucas gets a great deal of support from his old friends and it makes...
As always, Sandford delivers an engrossing and entertaining book. Having read all of the books in the Prey series and the Virgil Flowers series, I feel like I am deeply acquainted with each of the characters and have a vested interest in their lives. You would expect at some point that the stories would become rote or redundant, but not at all. Very enjoyable read.
I received a free advance copy from NetGalley for review.Ocean Spray? What kind of a name is that for a book? What’s it about? The history of the drink? Or is it a biography of the guy who made the viral video of him skateboarding and drinking Ocean Spray while he lip synced that Fleetwood Mac song? I mean, that was cool and all, but how are you gonnna do a whole book about… What’s that? It’s not Ocean SPRAY, but instead it’s Ocean PREY? Well, that sounds like a John Sandford title. Oh. It is a
Ocean Prey 5-2021Excellent read, loved this one. Sometimes a series can wane or diminish in story, character and voice, the author getting tired of writing the same old thing. The last few of Sanford have been good but not quite up to some of his really spectacular books. With Ocean Prey, Sanford is back, what a great read. But let me say I am a little biased, for this genre Sanford is my number one go-to. I’ve read all his of his Davenport and Virgil Flowers books multiple times. There is somet...
Ocean Prey is the thirty-first book in John Sandford's Lucas Davenport/Prey series. but this one differs from the earlier books in the series in that Sandford has included in the cast his other major series character, Virgil Flowers. In previous Davenport books, Virgil has sometimes played a small, walk-on part, and in previous Flowers books, Virgil has occasionally consulted Davenport. This book, though, is billed as "A Lucas Davenport and Virgil Flowers Novel," and each of the characters gets
I’m a big fan of Lucas Davenport. This is #31 of his books and I have loved them all. I grew up with him as a detective in Minnesota to his current job as a US Marshall. He only takes cases he wants to. He is a tough guy and does as he pleases. He made his money early in software, but loves to hunt…criminals that is…Lucas dresses well. He keeps in shape. But that is a lot easier when your wife is an eye surgeon and you have made money early on. It’s a lot easier to eat well if you have a chef…I
Ocean PreyBy John SandfordPages: 432Published by G.P. Putnam's Sons on April 13, 2021.This is the 31st book in the Lucas Davenport series and the 13th book in the Virgil Flowers series. Virgil doesn't take an active role until midway through the book. The book starts off fast and furious with unknown characters in a boat off Florida, getting a diver and something heavy out of the water. An off duty Coast Guard calls in the suspicious group. The Coast Guards then try to bring the boat to a halt,
One of the most boring books I’ve read. A textbook with dialogue. I’ve given it three stars because it’s well written and follows Sandford’s basic plotting system — i.e., the reader knows who the criminals are from the beginning, and the cops do too. There is no mystery. The story is in the chase.But I remember John Sandford’s earlier books as being ironic — full of wit. In this one, except for a bit of banter between Virgil and Rae, there was no humour. I remember the crooks being dumb and gett...
Think of having desert. Not just any desert, but your favorite desert: Strawberry Shortcake, or Apple Pie, or a Chocolate Sundae. That is how I think of a John Sandford book. This isn’t about nutrition; it is just for enjoyment. It is not like I learn anything or am inspired to anything. (Actually that would be rather scary given the plots of these books.) It is just simple enjoyment, or indulgence. These books are just to be enjoyed. Turn the pages and find out what happens next.The Sandford bo...
Okay, a couple of confessions first.1) I’m starting to like Virgil more than Lucas.2) After this…I kind of want Virgil and Rae to get together and make beautiful babies. (Yes, I know…not the point, but still!)So I have to admit that I wasn’t all into the crime in this one. While it was interesting enough, our baddies weren’t charismatic and the crime itself wasn’t a particularly exciting one. I need baddies you love to hate. These were…baddies I was apathetic about.However, I did love our charac...
3.5 starsJohn Sandford always writes great dialogue, but this book has some of the very best in all his books. The way these guys (and some gals, too) trade playful insults and exaggerations feels authentic to me. And it's usually very funny. I can imagine people in various law enforcement professions talking this way to build camaraderie and release tension. This story is masterfully plotted, complex and intricate. That complexity makes it feel realistic and exciting. But in this case it also m...
