Along with having to worry about a long-time friend who is on another case and his daughter Letty going off to college, Lucas has a lot going on.

#Field of prey book serial#
Lucas ends up trying to identify a serial killer who has murdered at least 21 women. So in the 24th installment of the Prey series starring Lucas Davenport, Sandford goes back to a well he’s left alone for a while. And then I started to remember how irritated I was by “Buried Prey” and how Marcy got fridged for Lucas’s development (eyeroll). Also having Lucas speak of Marcy this way and not mention his grief of her being murdered in “Buried Prey” which had everyone on the lookout to keep Lucas from murdering the man who shot and killed her is just baffling. At this point Sandford needs to write as if people have been following this series. Also I loathed the throwaway line about an ex of Lucas (who was Marcy). I still find this character less than useless, but at least Sandford has her shipped off to college by the end of this one so hopefully she only pops up sporadically now. And I have to wonder about her being at a murder scene and telling the cops how someone must have gotten shot. The main reason why I gave this four stars though is that I felt like once again there is too much Letty in this.

I thought that Sandford did a good job with this one.
