Jorge González Belmar<p>For my third book of the year, I went back to 1991 for <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/JohnSandford" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JohnSandford</span></a>'s <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/EyesOfPrey" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EyesOfPrey</span></a>, the third of the <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/LucasDavenport" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LucasDavenport</span></a> novels.</p><p>Very fun, somewhat disturbing book. The main baddie, Michael Bekker, has to be the most disturbed (and probably the most evil) of the killers of the 8 "Preys" I've read. I deal in healthcare, and how he abused his position to access victims in a hospital was something a bit too much for me.</p><p>1/</p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bookstodon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>bookstodon</span></a></span> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bookstodon</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/thriller" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>thriller</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/serialkillerfiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>serialkillerfiction</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/massmarketpaperback" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>massmarketpaperback</span></a></p>
Jorge González Belmar<p>Small thoughts on the books I've finished during November:</p><p>1. Shadow Prey (John Sandford, 1990): Fun thriller, better than "Rules" in a lot of ways, somewhat problematic in others. The almost "For the Evulz" mentality of the main villain is somewhat underwhelming. Could it be published today? Maybe, with some tweaks, especially regarding Shadow Love.</p><p><a href="https://masto.ai/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>books</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bookstodon</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bookstodon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>bookstodon</span></a></span> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/thriller" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>thriller</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/johnsandford" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>johnsandford</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/LucasDavenport" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LucasDavenport</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/prey" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>prey</span></a></p>
Jorge González Belmar<p>So, having finished a book 3 days ago, now I finished another one 😅 ... "Easy <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Prey" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Prey</span></a>" (2000), by <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/JohnSandford" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JohnSandford</span></a>.<br>Probably the most fun I've had so far with the series and liked that it was a <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/thriller" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>thriller</span></a> where we don't know <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/whodunnit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>whodunnit</span></a>, as opposed to the others I've read in the series. The humor was also on point for this one, and <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/LucasDavenport" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LucasDavenport</span></a> got some character development.</p><p>Now the question is: do I follow that with <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/LorrieMoore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LorrieMoore</span></a> or <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/JohnUpdike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JohnUpdike</span></a>?</p><p><a href="https://masto.ai/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>books</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bookstodon</span></a> <span class="h-card"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bookstodon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>bookstodon</span></a></span></p>
Jorge González Belmar<p>Just finished "Sudden Prey", by John Sandford. It's about on par with the latest, "Righteous Prey" and a bit lesser than "Certain Prey". Snappy and quick read that took long because of responsibilities.<br>Dick LaChaise was a bitter moron, but Sandy Darling was a decent counterpart. Martin was just creepy.<br>Davenport is certainly angrier than in latter books, but I think he's more reckless in "Certain Prey", at least.</p><p>Edit: correct @</p><p><a href="https://masto.ai/tags/JohnSandford" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JohnSandford</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/SuddenPrey" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SuddenPrey</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/LucasDavenport" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LucasDavenport</span></a></p><p><span class="h-card"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bookstodon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>bookstodon</span></a></span></p>
