For my third book of the year, I went back to 1991 for #JohnSandford's #EyesOfPrey, the third of the #LucasDavenport novels.
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.

Small thoughts on the books I've finished during November:
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.

So, with my summer resting time coming to a close soon, I finished another of the #LucasDavenport books: #ChosenPrey (2001).
Very fun, Qatar (the bad guy) was very well written, twisted, I loved to hate him. I just wish Barstad had remained alive.
Lucas was very mild this time, not doing anything outright illegal, but also somewhat stupid in one final decision.
The quality felt similar to #CertainPrey, a bit lower than #EasyPrey
So, having finished a book 3 days ago, now I finished another one 
... "Easy #Prey" (2000), by #JohnSandford.
Probably the most fun I've had so far with the series and liked that it was a #thriller where we don't know #whodunnit, as opposed to the others I've read in the series. The humor was also on point for this one, and #LucasDavenport got some character development.
Now the question is: do I follow that with #LorrieMoore or #JohnUpdike?
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.
Dick LaChaise was a bitter moron, but Sandy Darling was a decent counterpart. Martin was just creepy.
Davenport is certainly angrier than in latter books, but I think he's more reckless in "Certain Prey", at least.
