Sandford writes the absolute best chase scenes of any author.
Yay!!! I was getting worried Lucas seemed to be fading out, he's back. All the driving was wearing me out :-) Quick pace!!
The 26th "Prey" book. There just isn't much to say about this after 26 books; either you're the kind of person who reads Sandford or you're not. I thought Sandford spent too long in the villain's POV, but otherwise it's much the same as the rest - a fast-paced story, no background needed to understand the characters, and in this one lots of driving around Iowa instead of Minnesota. And I don't mean to be critical, I enjoy them or I wouldn't keep reading.
I broke my own rule and read this out of order...shocking for OCD me, but it was recommended because of it's timely ties to the current Presidential election. The cast of characters include a tough blond female Presidential candidate, a sweet, very liberal male candidate and a plot by left wing extremists to take out the female front runner.
Add to this, it takes place in Iowa, primarily in the Iowa City area, where I was a 911 Dispatcher for many years. Mr. Sandford included many towns in the area and all over the state with clear and accurate descriptions of streets, restaurants and businesses which made the book even more interesting to this Iowa girl.
The location was my favorite part, but the story is one of Sandford's best. Fast paced, full of intrigue and lots of interesting detail. This is a must read for all crime fiction lovers, and even more so if you are from Iowa.

I enjoy Sanford but sometimes he is too repetitive.
great!
