I belong to several Facebook groups for books, and this author was recommended as a possible series for me to read. Although it’s not my preferred genre, I have really been enjoying fiction police thrillers.
I have read all the Alex Cross books, Michael Bennett books, and just finished all the Women’s Murder Club books by James Patterson.
I have read all the Jesse Stone books, Spencer books, and Sunny Randall books by Robert B Parker and others after Parker passed away.
I know, that I am not the only one who reads these books and gets sucked in immediately to the story, and wants to keep on reading to see what happens. Oh, only two minutes in this chapter, let me continue. Wait, they caught the bad guy. Oh, only three minutes in this chapter, let me continue. At some point, I do have to stop and get on with life itself and that being to take care of the son, take care of the wife, take care of the cat, take care of the house, and then take care of myself. The book will be waiting for me the next day. It’s OK, I tell myself!
So, for this one, I remembered it being recommended, and after I did some research, it looked like a Mark book! I also liked the fact it takes place in Minnesota. We are moving to Minnesota next month.
Lucas Davenport is a police officer in Minneapolis, and his way of doing things is uncoventional. He has a very interesting hobby and one that I have never read about; he creates role playing games. He is also a master manipulator. He doesn’t care about whom he sleeps with and they don’t seem to care either. And, yes, him and his fellow police officers do indeed catch a bad guy in this book.
I am hooked, and have already gotten the second book from the library. I also saw that a few of the books have been made into movies; one starring Eric LaSalle as Davenport and another one starring Mark Harmon as Davenport. Yes, I will watch them.
