suspense - crime/procedural fiction (orig. published 2004); main character Lucas Davenport has a whole series, but each novel works as a standalone. Set in Minnesota.

fast-paced reading that will last you through several sittings, great to take on the plane, etc.

picked up from a Little Free Library, part of my trying various popular authors I've never read before-- (

I loved how we, the readers knew from the start how the murder happened and how Lucas was getting it wrong based on the information he was missing.

I also loved the self-redemption story. Annabelle was so real to me I feel like she is still doing pro-bono work in her dad's spare office or maybe has gotten a practice of her own by now. I hope we see her again. (

All Davenport-books are great, this one is just a little less great. (
