I've enjoyed all of the John Sandford novels, including the Prey series, the Kidd series, the Flowers series (all of which are related) and the standalone novels. This latest one was crackling with tension and a fun read. My wife wonders why I like to read these novels where terrible things happen to people. I like them because A) the good guy nearly always gets the bad guy and B) it throws my easy, comfortable, thoroughly fortunate life in sharp relief.
