Twisted Prey - John Sandford

I finished The Woman in The Window by A.J. Finn and had no idea why it had become a best selling novel. It was quite slow. After that I tried to read The Girl on The Train by Paula Hawkins, but after a while I lost my interest completely and jumped to the end to see the conclusion. I also had no idea why this became a best selling novel.

I moved on to read the new John Sandford novel - Twisted Prey and was happy to find that there was still a novel to my liking. I really enjoyed reading this book. Compared to the 2 books above, this one had richer plots.

Lucas Davenport, a U.S. Marshal, was asked by his friend, U.S. Senator Porter Smalls, to look into a strange car accident in West Virginia that had taken the life of his mistress. The investigation would take Lucas to his old 'enemy', a beautiful, rich U.S. Senator Taryn Grant. [From Silken Prey] The danger of this task also put Lucas's wife's life in danger.

I actually didn't really believe that a senator would kill with her own hands, and we talk here about a calculative person who planned everything meticulously. The ending, however, was very satisfying and I liked it very much. Our hero was not a saint... not then, not ever.
