Masked Prey (Lucas Davenport, #30)

John Sandford

Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

Lucas Davenport investigates a vitriolic blog that seems to be targeting the children of U.S. politicians in the latest thriller by #1 New York Times-bestselling author John Sandford. The daughter of a U.S. Senator is monitoring her social media presence when she finds a picture of herself on a strange blog. And there are other pictures . . . of the children of other influential Washington politicians, walking or standing outside their schools, each identified by name. Surrounding the photos are texts of vicious political rants from a motley variety of radical groups. It's obviously alarming--is there an unstable extremist tracking the loved ones of powerful politicians with deadly intent? But when the FBI is called in, there isn't much the feds can do. The anonymous photographer can't be pinned down to one location or IP address, and more importantly, at least to the paper-processing bureaucrats, no crime has actually been committed. With nowhere else to turn, influential Senators decide to call in someone who can operate outside the FBI's constraints: Lucas Davenport.

    Each new Lucas Davenport book I read makes me less and less interested in his series. Now that he works for the government, in an even higher position than when he was with the BCA, means that most of his cases are talking and waiting for things to happen in his favor and it just isn't as interesting to me as the first books when he was still a homicide detective. And now there's heavy politics involved in all of his books and I just don't care about that.

    The most interesting part of this book for me was the strategizing behind murdering children, and that's not at all supposed to be the most interesting part.
