5. Lethal Prey by John Sandford

Sun Jun 22, 2025, 11:47 AM

Sunday

New title. Lucas and Virgil solve a cold case with detective smarts and true crimes crowdsourcing.

Great idea. Feels kinda flat. Sandford even reuses plot tactics like fire bombing Virgil’s home.

Also, The President is Missing by Bill Clinton and James Patterson.

Probably not the best choice for these times. Talky political thriller as a computer virus is prime to take down the world. Plus a traitor in the White House.

I really liked the Hillerman books. Road trip in my mind.
