John Sandford novels are not the puzzle mysteries that Dame Agatha fashioned so well. Mr. Sandford's stories contain gore, violence, humor and sex. He tells his stories well, but don't buy a Sandford novel expecting to find a "fair" mystery with all of the clues set out in a way that the reader can unscramble. In Easy Prey, the 11th book in the Prey series, Minneapolis Deputy Police Chief Lucas Davenport goes after the murderer of a beautiful fashion model. Suspicion falls on lovers, drug dealers and others. The deaths mount as the hunt continues.
