I love the Prey books by Sandford. I was really excited to see this one added to the collection. Shannon I am only one; but still I am one. I can not do everything, but I can do something. And, because I can not do everything, I will not refuse to do the something I can do.

I just read g.Cindy's new books list, and the first two books sent me into spasms of joy. ("spasms of joy"? oh well...) ***Phantom Prey by John Sandford Quality: Excellent, almost no errors. Fiction Synopsis: A widow comes home to find blood on the walls and her college-age daughter missing. She begs Lucas Davenport's wife to get Lucas involved, which he reluctantly does, until... Copyright Date: 2008 I have been following Lucus Davenport since the late '90s, and have gone back to read almost everything he's written. If you like police procedurals and rough and tough crime, Davenport's your guy. The second book is: "***Careless in Red by Elizabeth George Quality: Excellent, almost no errors. Fiction Synopsis: After the murder of his wife, DS Thomas Lynley spends 6 weeks hiking the bleak and rugged coast of Cornwall. One day he discovers the body of a young man at the base of a cliff. Copyright Date: 2008" Elizabeth George's inspector Lynley series is great on character development and tough on criminals. I must admit that Ms George's last book, "What Came Before He Shot her" through me for a loop when Ms George kind of off-handedly killed one of the major characters. But, readers are a pretty forgiving lot, at least I am. "Careless in Red" should be a good read. Way to go bookshare.
