Title: Phoned In
Product review: Davenport is one of the better lead characters alive in the genre today, but the reader can't help yawning most of the way through Certain Prey. The writing almost sounds as if Sanford has lost his way and his will just as Davenport has on the pages of this series.In this genre the reader has to be prepared to suspend disbelief from time to time. This novel, however, requires far too many lapses of reason. Characters act out of character. Much of the scenery is black and white. And, Davenport goes way outside the lines of the law, which is a luxury a private detective has, but a public one does not. Too much to overlook.If you've never read a Lucas Davenport novel, don't start here. If you're a Lucas Davenport fan read this book, but be warned that this is far from the best we've seen in this series.
