Storm Prey by John Sandford

Title: Storm Prey
Author: John Sandford
Did I listen or read?: library book
When did I finish?: May 27, 2011
When was the book published: 2010
Main Characters: Lucas Davenport, some kinda detective, his wife Weather, a doctor, two siamese twin babies, two dumb criminals, Joe and Lucas Mack, their girlfriend Honey Bee, Lucas's buddies Virgil and some other guy
What happens? 4 guys conspire with a drug addicted doctor in the middle of winter in Minnesota to break into a hospital pharmacy and steal the good stuff. One of the attendants tries to make a cell phone 911 call, and one of the burglars kicks him and he dies. Weather is driving in to the hospital as they are leaving and sees them. Very similar to Spenser and Hawk with protecting Weather and solving the crime with the sort-of cooperation of the police.
How long was this? 404 pages
Did I like this? Yes, it was darn good. The guy writes a good story, and it was a page turner. I think I should go back to the beginning of the "Prey" series, as I don't know the recurring characters very well. It was set in Minnesota, but what are you gonna do?
Overall grade: A-
