Title: Lightweight Prey--No Emotional "Punch"
Product review: As a lontime Prey series fan, I found this one to be mediocre. Basically the central premise is a lawyer joke--e.g. "How do you know when a lawyer's lying? Her lips are moving". I believe Sandford had this great idea for a contract killer character in Rinker, and tried to wrap a novel around that character. Mr. Sandford--you can't have neat, symmetrical TV miniseries morality and produce a the kind of novel that frightens and enthralls fans. The easy and ridiculously improbable ways Lucas finds clues in this one make it seem like Sandford was just wearily pugging in plot details. Plus, the demise of C.L. was just bizarre and meaningless. I'd bet there was a "darker" draft of this novel that got rejected--I for one, would like to read it.
