The best I've read in the series so far, by far. Johnson Johnson! Rescuing puppies! Sandford's hit on the well-loved formula of an investigator looking into multiple cases simultaneously that at some points converge; I hope he takes the series forward in the same manner. A lot less casual sexism in this book; hopefully as the publication dates move closer to present day, instances of such will continue to decline. 🤞🏻⚠️mention of animal cruelty

Well that was slightly more absurd than previous books in the series, but a lot less violent, so I'm calling it a bonus!
Tad bit of the Da Vinci Code vibes - running around after an artifact that might reveal a truth contentious to biblical history/ religious beliefs - but mostly a high action mystery per the usual. 1/?

Robotswithpersonality On the not so fun side, the portrayals of Israeli and Lebanese people are not necessarily negative, but I'm still concerned 'own voices' reviewers would confirm my suspicions that Sanford's descriptions are not appreciated, i.e. considered shallow/stereotypical/patronizing. NOBODY needs to be told they "speak good English". 2/? 1y
Robotswithpersonality 3/3 And of course, there's the standard objectification of women floating around the edges. 🤦🏼‍♂️ As previously mentioned, if I think of these books like 80s/90s action films, they run about the same gamut of problematic/out-dated entertainment. 😬 ⚠️ Descriptions of terminal illness (late stage cancer), mentions of Alzheimer's 1y

I‘ve been a John Sandford fan for more years than I care to admit. I‘ve read a boatload of the Prey books, following Lucas Davenport‘s career. I even stuck with him through the Flowers novels. I‘ve now read both of the books featuring Letty Davenport (Lucas‘s adopted daughter) but I doubt I‘ll read the next. She‘s a flat character, a pale echo of Lucas, or even Virgil fu*king Flowers . The plot here is foolish with more killing than necessary.

Ruthiella My mom, who has read all the Prey novels also didn‘t care for the Letty spinoff. 1y
CaitlinR @Ruthiella yeah, folks like me and your mom are purists, aren‘t we? All best to a fellow Lucas D. fan! (edited) 1y
