Ocean Prey

This is the first time in one book that we’ve had so much Lucas Davenport and Virgil Flowers interaction and it was outstanding. Lucas is a Federal Marshal now so we see him in a wider area than just Minnesota. He travels to Florida on a case that the FBI has been on for years. “Life sucks and then you die, so you better take the credit where you can. You know the feds. When it comes to credit, they’re always the first in line. Virgil comes into play later in the book but he is my favorite character. He and Rhea go undercover. There interaction make this book a great edition to these long time series.

I'm a super fan, but this one was weird - it's like with the Virgil-Davenport team up it has trouble finding its tone. It's still very, very fun, but I think they're more fun together in small doses. Also: totally shocked at the thing with a newer character — no spoilers but wow. Overall, really good, just not my fave.

I went into this book nervous about whether or not I would be disappointed like I was with the last one. Short answer, no. This book brings back the Lucas of old and I couldn’t be happier. There was an event in this book that shattered me for a few chapters and truly brought out the Lucas Davenport fans have known over the last 30-some books. Bringing Flowers into the craziness that is the Marshal’s service was everything I never knew I needed. This crossover has me excited about more Prey/Flowers books and more crossovers in the future!!
