Unlike many other popular authors who are just phoning it in this far into a character series, John Sanford continues his famous Lucas Davenport series with the same tight plotting, page-turning finesse as his first. I love how the character continues to grow and develop, and really appreciated this trip back in time to Davenport's early days as a detective.
Quick, entertaining read. I enjoyed it. Recommended if you like action-packed mysteries.
Love. I like how this book was set up and written. Sandford gives you quite a bit to think about in this novel.
Another excellent davenport, this one kept me coming back even though it was also incredibly sad to lose a regular character. I continue to enjoy the character development of those in the books and the flash back to Lucas' early days as a cop was fun

A thoroughly enjoyable read. When I saw that the book was going to spend time in flashback, I was initially worried as I'm not a huge fan of that. However, I'm impressed by the way it was done here. I think it was smart to do all the flashback in one go, as cutting interchangeably between past and present always exhausts me.
A fun time and quick read. Deplorable bad guys, lovable characters, and good dialogue as always.

I had never read anything written by Sandford and I'm so glad I didn't miss this great summer read. Dark yet humorous.
An interesting way to learn more about how Lucas got his start.
I like this one not because of the story, but it goes back to Davenport's early days as he starts out as a cop and also how DNA is used to help locate the killer.
A good read.
