The Investigator

Lettie's all grown up and gets her own series. This young lady is very much Lucas Davenport's daughter - adopted or not, she's definitely following in his footsteps. She's also very much her own woman with a sharp wit, take no guff attitude, and a determination to take care of business. At first, I thought it would've been nice to see Lettie work her way up the ranks - earn her place, so to speak - but with Lucas's connections, it makes sense that she'd have a leg up. That's not to say she doesn't deserve it because she's every bit the strong woman she grew up to be in Sandford's Prey series. This is a spin-off series, but you won't be lost if you're new to this author or the characters. We get Lettie's background little by little throughout the book, so her actions, some that would seem rash or out of character, make more sense. I'll stop there so I don't give away the book's secrets. Suffice it to say this is everything I expect from John Sandford. It's sharp and engaging, and I'm already invested in Lettie and dying to know what's next.

This new series is fantastic! Letty is a congressional aid tasked with an unusual project. When pressed into service, she is also provided with Kaiser, a former Delta, current DHS, officer. While Letty is young, smart, and very well educated, what she lacks is practical experience. Kaiser brings that to the table, along with his extensive history of hunting bad buys. What begins as a simple question, quickly turns into a complex conspiracy that has them fighting for justice and their lives. Thi

Excellent...as usual! This book kept my attention from the get go.
