I Came to Praise Carla Rinker

January 24, 2019 by Classic Leave a Comment

Sigh. Wow. Sandford holds nothing back in this 13th book in the Lucas Davenport series. He brings back Clara Rinker and we are on for a wild ride. I really had no issues with anything except the ending, I wanted a different one, which probably says more about me than anything else. In “Mortal Prey” we have Lucas and Weather planning their wedding and expecting their first child together. Lucas is going crazy with plans for their new house coming together and also with him […]

Chosen Prey Rebounds After the Last Prey Book

January 24, 2019 by Classic Leave a Comment

We get to see who Lucas chose after the mess of the last Prey book (spoiler: Weather) and how they are dealing with each other months later.

The chief who he has been working for is not likely to get re-appointed, which means Lucas is going to have to go too. If that’s enough, it appears a murder is leading Lucas and […]

I rooted for June, but thought most of the story was kind of a […]

Okay Thriller and Mystery

January 24, 2019 by Classic 7 Comments

This wasn’t bad, and it wasn’t an exceptional thriller. Very paint by numbers after a while. I think it’s because I figured out what went on and none of the twists were a surprise. I still liked this better than the “Lying Game” though. That was not good. “The Death of Mrs. Westaway” has Harriet (known a Hal) Westaway being told that her grandmother has died, and left her something in her will. The only issue is that Hal knows that Mrs. Westaway can’t be […]
