Davenport, a detective lieutenant. Fast paced, hard to put down I picked up a paperback version of Mind Prey some time ago. I was impressed. That led me to look for other books in the series. Starting with the first in the series, I was not disappointed. Sandford begins his novels with enough of a 'hook' to make the reader continue past a large number of characters at the outset. His word pictures put the reader in the story location, and his character descriptions make them very real. The bad guys are really bad, but definitely not shallow. The insight into a deranged killer's mind and actions is troubling. Detective Lucas Davenport is a very different kind of cop. Lik. Beverly Nichols said Bad, Bad Lucas!!!. Had I not read some some of the later Lucas Davenport books, I would have stopped with this book. He was horrid in it. He was a womanizer, a liar,and a snitch. I kept thinking he would become a better man, but in the first three books, he did not. Not that he did not solve crimes, but the way he did it made me wonder what kind of integrity he had, if any at all. But I did work my way through the books, knowing down the line, he changes for the better. It was a mind blowing experience.
