Silken Prey by John Sandford
4.0
This is one of the best in the series thus far. As with most of the Davenport book, the readers know almost everything right from the start and the fun is watching it all play out. There may not be any mystery, but it's a fun thriller. A political thriller this time.
Kidd and Lauren (LuEllen) play a significant role in the investigation. I don't think it's quite enough though for me to go back and read the rest of the series where's he's the protagonist. I only read the first one. It could happen though. Flowers also has a role as well. So, that's three series coming together in one book. It's too bad Letty didn't have more of a role considering her upcoming book next month, then it'd retroactively be four series.
I liked all the characters and their interactions.
The ending, while entirely realistic and completely understandable isn't necessarily what I wanted. I wonder if it's a set up for a later book, a statement on how life is, simply going for more realism, or some combination thereof. Regardless, it's preferable to how many of the antagonists would self-destruct in earlier entries which bothered me.
