A tangled web is weaved when quilting and antiques mix in the Heartland

In the latest by Sandford featuring Lucas Davenport, the death of a rich elderly woman and her maid appears to be the work of random thieves. However, when Davenport begins to look at it more closely, he senses that things are not quite as they seem. When another elderly woman is murdered, her granddaughter comes to Davenport with information pointing to what appears to be a series of similar murders - all radiating from a similar point, having to do with a set of quilts, called the "Armstrong" quilts. What is the real reason for the murders? Can he discover what is going on in time to stop any more deaths?

A heart-stopping pace, and peeks behind the scenes of the antagonists' workings, makes this a book that is hard to put down - I meant to go to sleep hours ago, but couldn't put it down until I finished it! One thing to note, however: Sandford shouldn't be so dismissive of the cutting edge fashion of Twin Cities' optics - he mentions that the niece of the first victim (named Carol Ann Barker) "had glasses that were three fashions ahead of anything seen in the Twin Cities." Now, I happen to know - because when I lived in the Twin Cities I worked there - that there is a shop called The Spectacle Shoppe in the Cities that carries the cutting edge in new and antique eyewear. Their eyewear is even featured in several motion pictures - The Adventures of Priscilla Queen of the Desert (Extra Frills Edition), for example, and Jingle All the Way (Family Fun Edition) - those are the two I can remember off the top of my head. Anyway, The Spectacle Shoppe is just one of the VERY trendy optical shops that can be found in the Twin Cities that carry THE cutting edge in eyewear fashion. Nothing to do with the book, other than it was a fallacious statement about the Minneapple that I felt needed to be corrected!

At any rate - I enjoyed this newest chapter in the Davenport library and am eagerly awaiting the next one - definitely a recommend from me!

Good book - nice edition to the series

This is part of the Davenport series. A good detective book with lots of plot twists and turns. You would be happiest reading this novel if you have read the previous ones so that you understand the characters. Worth reading even if you don;t know the characters' pasts.

Prey Novel

I have read all of John Sanford's Prey novels. This one was ok, but, his earlier ones were better. I guess you have to expect that, because how much imagination can one man have?? If you are as big a fan of this writer as I am, I really don't know if I would recommend this book. I hope his next one will be better!!
