Easy Prey by John Sandford
3.0
John Sandford's Prey series keeps rolling along with its 11th novel, Easy Prey. Detective Lucas Davenport is at a crossroads when his personal life starts interfering with his professional one.
A supermodel is murdered while at a party of the rich and famous. Another body is found at the same time but the second victim seems to be someone just as the wrong place at the wrong time. Headlines are everywhere; drugs, sex, and secrets surrounding the model, Alie's Maison's death are putting pressure on Lucas and his team to solve the case quickly. The bodies continue to pile up as do the motives and the suspects. When a member of Lucas' team is critically injured, he pulls out all the stops to find the murderer.
Old friends and lovers are at the heart of the novel and the mystery. Easy Prey was a somewhat bloated Davenport novel. Lucas' ongoing angst and indecision about the women in his life felt tedious after the fifth or sixth revelation about why/how he was attracted to each of them (Jael =sex, Catrin = nostalgia, and Weather = love). The murders almost take a backseat to Lucas' love life.
Easy Prey is one of the weaker novels in the series but one that a true fan shouldn't skip.
