Silken Prey

Rating is actually 3.5. it's vintage Sandford which is a good thing for plotting but somehow it felt lifeless. I've read them all and know these books are procedurals but l missed the tension and danger of other books.

Two words: Kidd & Lauren.

I know, right?!?!

It's always been kind of sad to me that the Kidd series was only 4 books long. Just like with Lucas & Virgil's series I could read books about Kidd forever. So it was really exciting when they not only made an appearance in Silken Prey, but they actually contributed for more than just a token ‘hello'.

Sandford always makes me laugh even when I'm biting my fingernails and sitting on the edge of my seat. This time, my laugh out loud moment came from Jenkins & Shrake.

“The big question is: Is he gonna talk, or is he gonna stonewall, or is he gonna shoot, or is he gonna run?” Jenkins said. “That's four questions,” Shrake said. “It irritates me that you can't count.”

God I love them boys.

Another one in the win column for Sandford. He makes political intrigue fun and interesting. My only complaint is with the conclusion, but he's done this to his readers before and I expect he'll do it again.
