Sandford creates some really great characters in this series and one great detective in Lucas Davenport.
The stories are always gripping and believable. The action is fast paced and nerve racking.
Most importantly, unlike so many other detective novel series by other other authors, the ending doesn't cheat the reader.
Start with the first book in this series and work your way through - you won't be disappointed.Conjures Up A B-rated Movie A friend suggested reading Sandford and so I did with this particular story. It develops suspense and I did want to know who the terrible villain was, but as it turned out the perp seemed almost incidental to all that happened. I was reminded of B-rated movies and how their characters always fall short of the mark. In this case, the investigating detective did not, but the killer had no such luck.
