I've read these books out of order, so I kind of figured out how it was going to end. Still liked it, though! ( )

I've been on a Sandford binge.

I love his style and read every book when it comes out, but I realized with the titles being so generic, that the books blurred in my mind and I couldn't remember which was which. When I came across a pile of them in a second hand book stall, I bought 4 (and have now read them, one a day for 4 days!) I like it for lots of reasons but primarily I like the character of Lucas Davenport and the riffing he does with his fellow cops (the dialogue is excellent) The crimes are genuinely interesting and I also like the way Minneapolis is portrayed. I'm tired of books set in New York and LA, and this gives a flavor of an entirely different city.

Sudden Prey is the 7th prey book. It's one with Dick LaChaise, where he wants to kill cops who killed his sister and wife in a suspect robbery. In Davenport's inimitable manner, the shooting was clean (the women definitely shot first) but they had been following, one could almost say stalking the women.

What follows is horror as Dick and his 2 cronies try to kill the cop's families. Add in a corrupt cop and a hostage sister in law and things go haywire quickly.

This is a solid entry in the Prey series but not my favorite. I like my villains a bit more complex, and these guys were just mean and nasty from start to finish. But still def worth reading, it's a great series, this just isn't one of the best ones. ( )
