review 1: So I enjoy John Sandford and Lucas Davenport. I suppose part of what I enjoy is my knowledge of Minnesota having traveled there many time going to the Boundary Water Canoe Area, hanging out at Camp Ripley courtesy of the US Army, and vacationing north of Duluth on Lake Superior....

review 1: If you love murder mysteries set in today's time frame then you need to step away from the TV and stop watching that CRAP and pick up the prey series from John Sandford. Really. You're missing some captivating fiction here. Lucas Davenport gets it done and not always in a conv...
