Field of Prey

I have read every one of Sandford's Lucas Davenport series. Granted, the reader should allow some poetic license. But for as much as Sandford seems to know about police procedure, it's ridiculous that he puts Letty, a teenager, smack in the middle of the story even to the extent of accompanying Lucas to crime scenes and making suggestions as to what the cops should do. In reality, Lucas wouldn't even discuss the case with her, much less allow her to go running all over the country with him.

I have read all of John SAndford's books. ZThis was the best. Living in Wisconsin, I am partial to the Prey series.Better yet, having visited many , most all, the WI cities mentioned in his book. His books are feasable in these crime days of now. This book grabbed me at the first paragraph, and held me glued to it until the last page. John Sandford writes in his books just as real as person would live, with crime and surprising gore all around them. Can't wait for the next book in the Prey series to come out! And then there is Virgil....so many books from this author, so little patience I have waiting for the next one to come out . Definitely worth the wait,though.

I have been a avid fan of John Sanford since I bought his 1st novel many years ago. However, his last 3 books are missing the fire & immediate desire to read to the last page into the early morning hours. Fields of Prey started & ended as the old Sanford. But after the 1st few pages it was as if someone else was brought in to pitch hit. I miss the old days as a team of solid detectives with Davenport firmly as the leader. Each page turned was an adventure. Come out of retirement,
