“Twisted Prey” the latest Lucas Davenport novel by John Sandford is more thriller than crime novel, dealing, as it does, with the attempted assassination of a US senator.
So much for the plot. Actually, I can’t say much about the plot without giving too much away. Suffice to say my opening sentence pretty much encapsulates the basics.
The book is actually so slow in the beginning that I almost gave up, but decided to keep going. I’m glad I did. Suddenly the book took off and it was vintage John Sandford.
The character of Letty appears to be going in a disturbing direction. One that I am not sure that I like.
There were shocks and jolts, then the ending seemed to be dribbling away to nothing, before John Sandford had one last shock up his sleeve.
The result is one hell of a read. Highly recommended.
