A review by yorugua1891
Night Prey by John Sandford
4.0
"The nightgown more substantial, less diaphanous than it seemed in Koop's mind, but Koop had fallen in love"
This is on fast-paced book, starting with a cat burglar, Koop, falling in love with the victim who was sleeping while he is robbing her apartment and continuing with the obsession that envelops him and leads him to kill other women. Add to that a cop that is about to die from cancer and has a visceral need to find the killer and leads her to work with Lucas Davenport in the case, and you have a recipe for high entertainment.
Of course, once Sandford has you in his grip he does not let go. He adds enough gruesome details, the interesting look at the killers psyche, the developments in Davenport's personal life, and a puzzling side case, to bring this very nice job to fruition.
Fans of the series have a good idea about what these books are about. This one is among the good ones and will leave you satisfied. Since the personal story of the main character adds an extra layer of depth to the series I recommend newcomers to go back to the beginning and read the books in order. The series is so good that you will find yourself here in no time.
