Lethal Prey

Lucas Davenport and Virgil Flowers join forces to track down a ruthless killer who will do whatever it takes to keep the past buried, in this latest thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author John Sandford.

Things I loved about this book:

  • How the opening scene with the murder drew me right in
  • The alternating the POV between the investigators and the killer
  • How the killer’s backstory unfolds as the book progresses
  • The introduction of the true-crime bloggers, which makes for a fun addition given the pervasiveness of social media these days
  • That the deductions the investigators make seem plausible given the clues that have been uncovered and aren’t crazy leaps of intuition that don’t ring true
  • The collaboration between two great Sandford characters, Davenport and Flowers
  • The ending, which was a bit different and I really liked

I found Lethal Prey thoroughly entertaining and gave it 5 stars.
