Super duper slow start with too many characters, but the middle through the end was stellar!

This is the 9th Prey book I've read. This one is also very good but with a shaky start. About woman serial killer who has murdered to further her husband's career at a bank then killed him when he threatens to turn him in.

Lucas davenport is investigating a murder of a bank official before a bank merger (

Rosemary1973 | Oct 4, 2023 |

Who killed the Chairman of the Board turns into who killed his successor and so on. Suspicion passes from big boss to big boss to their wives and ex-wives. The last part of the book delves into the mind of the killer and it is where Sandford rises to the top. It's hard to forget Lucas Davenport's foes. But will Lucas get Winter back? (

Epigraph

Dedication

First words

De voorzitter van de raad van bestuur trok de deur achter zich dicht, zette zijn geweer tegen de blokhut, en liep naar het eind van de veranda.

The Chairman of the board pulled the door shut behind him, stacked his rifle against the log-sided cabin, and walked down to the end of the porch.
