This is #2 in a series and I am returning it unread. Not a series I can get into.

Lucas Davenport mostly redeemed himself from Shadow Prey in this quick read. He seems to have matured a little from the previous story. He didn't come across as the wealthy adolescent spinning giddily from one sexcapade to another. In this story, he faces a challenging foe, a drug-addicted psychopath. With so many Prey books stretching ahead I hope Lucas can spring free from his grand funk.

Lucas Davenport #3. Davenport has messed his personal life up seriously and could use a case to pull him out of his funk. Thank goodness Minnesota has another serial killer (or two) on the loose. While this book can be read alone, Silent Prey, the next in the series follows the killer through another series of murders.

Ack. I found myself hoping that all the characters in the book would please wipe themselves out and take their miserable Minnesota with them.

Another Lucas Davenport winner.

Excellent novel.
