Buried Prey by John Sandford
0.25
.25 for Marcy
Well, I thought the premise was great. Enjoyed travelling back in time, although meeting Randy at that time conflicts with Randy's age when we first met him.
And, of course, the screwup with amnesiac Marcy, who has forgotten her marriage, her son, and that she no longer has the hots for Lucas.
Sandford posted on Facebook that he killed Marcy because the plot needed momentum. That's a crappy thing to do to Marcy, who seemed happiest of all the cops (well, except for her amnesia).
I perfectly understand his friends' concerns that Lucas will do something grossly illegal, thereby ending his own career and damaging those of everyone else. Let's face it--Lucas has manipulated situations and carried on extralegal actions through the entire series.
I really dislike Letty. She's the little devil that sits on both of Lucas's shoulders, encouraging him to indulge his worst intentions. I'm surprised Weather allows that. What might be acceptable in a cynical, experienced cop is unacceptable in a bratty, indulged high school kid who now has the advantages of wealthy, connected parents. Some maturation on her part would not be remiss.
