pickI first read some of this series 15 years ago and remember enjoying them. This started a little slow for me but turned into a good police thriller. At about the half way point I wondered how they could drag this out much longer, but then it suddenly got interesting. The villains here are terrible people who kill without a second thought. I had no problems with their deaths.
I'm lagging behind bad, normally by this time of the year I'll already be looking forward to the next instalment in the series come next year 😊. I think I have like three or more to catch up with lol
Just started the latest book in the Lucas Davenport‘s series, which is a review copy of the audiobook. Looking forward to this one.

Well, that was fun! I inhaled this, the newest Davenport book, in a week.
Did end on a bit of an open question, though, so definitely intrigued to see what happens in (hopefully) the next book.
Overall, this is a great mystery series and another great installment. Just what I needed after being in medieval England/Normandy for 3 months!
pickAfter what kind of felt like a couple of missteps by Sandford in his long running series about Lucas Davenport, he seems to have gotten in tune with things again. I‘m still not sold on his new “voice of Lucas Davenport”, Robert Petkoff, his delivery seems cutoff to tension and drama of scenes. 4 ⭐️
pickLucas Davenport and Virgil Flowers team up again for a twisty game of cat-and-mouse with a serial killer. It's fast paced and cleverly plotted, but the ending felt like no ending at all (I read elsewhere that another ARC reader thinks a final chapter was left out of the ARC, so I'll reserve judgment on that.) 4 of 5 stars.

Nine o'clock, a dazzling moon outside the window, a shrill whistle for a werewolf.

Getting started on this one. This is #35 (!) in the Lucas Davenport series, and the books have been consistently good; not always the case with a long running series. Publication date 3/25/25.
pickRogue scientists set out to save the earth (Gaia) by planning to unleash a killer virus that will kill millions of people. Lucas Davenport and his daughter, Letty along with a strong cast of familiar and new characters, are tasked with stopping the viral release. Lots of thrills, lots of killings. The final pages were surprisingly anticlimactic. Not the strongest Sandford entry, but I did stay up entirely too late reading to the end.
