Latest Read: Rules of Prey

I’ve never read Sandford’s work, and on the recommendation of a friend, I picked up his first book in this series, Rules of Prey.

In the criminal justice system, sexually based offenses are considered – no, wait a minute…

Quick review: Self-styled rogue cop meets serial killer who thinks taking people is a game. Not the best written story I’ve read, but the story itself is quite good. Occasional non-important narrative rambling, but I hear it gets better after this one. It was good enough that I’ll read the next, despite disliking how this one ended. There was enough character evolution to have me interested in seeing if he changes, or stays the same. I’m not a huge fan of rogue cops, but Davenport’s attitude left me enjoying him despite my initial misgivings.

Sometimes it’s just nice to read a good mystery/thriller/procedural with no expectation of character development. Other times, it’s a real turn-off. It just depends on my mood.

I’ve got the next book queued up, so when I get to it, I’ll follow up on how the world progresses.
