Secret Prey (Lucas Davenport, #9)

John Sandford

Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

The company chairman lay dead in the woods, his orange hunting jacket punctured by a bullet at close range. Around him stood the four executives with whom he had been hunting, each with a reason not to be sorry about the man's death. A classic murder mystery, it would seem; the kind where the detective gathers everyone together at the end and solves the case. But Lucas Davenport knows it's not going to be easy. There are currents running through this group, hints and whispers of something much greater than the murder of a single man. Some time soon, unless he could stop it, there would be other deaths - and Davenport can't help but wonder if maybe the final death might be his own ...

    I actually hate to be rating this book so low. But I was so bored. This book focused a lot more on the bank situation than I would have liked and it bored the life out of me. Which I think it such a shame. I haven't rated a book in this series this low since the first one.

    I wasn't super interested in this book until the last 90 pages or so. Once all the bank boringness was over, it got better. I don't read crime thrillers to learn about how stocks work. I read crime thrillers to be on the edge of my seat and for my heart to race and to try and anticipate the killer's next move (which I'm not very good at doing, but it's still fun). I also really enjoy the banter between the detectives.

    <spoiler>The fact that this was the first book with a female killer was great, I just wish it had been more enjoyable for me. I can't wait to read the next books in the series, though. And I'm hoping for more evil, greedy, intelligent female killers. It would be fun to read about them in more entertaining murder cases.</spoiler>
