Buried Prey by John Sandford

3.0

This is the first book I've read about the investigator Lucas Davenport or by John Sandford and I'm not too impressed. "Buried Prey" begins with the body of two girls being found. They were the first case Lucas ever worked and of course the stakes are now hight that they realize they pinned the crime on the wrong guy. So for most of the first half of the book, it's a recap of what happened in 1985. Quite boring really. The second half of the book involves some scenes from the killer's point of view, which makes it all a little more interesting. There is a witness who escaped an attempted kidnapping and so the hunt begins. Of course the killer is caught in the end. This novel fails to touch any nerve whatsoever. It won't keep anyone sleepless and never once rises above "mildly entertaining". A perfect, ultra-light read. I'll have forgotten all about it in less than a week.
