Summary: Bitter Cold Murders
Comment: He calls himself the Iceman, and he runs a child porn ring in a tiny community in northern Wisconsin. In the depths of a bitter winter, he realizes that someone has a photo that can identify him and concludes it's the young daughter of a local family. In a grisly scene, he kills the father and mother, then tortures the daughter horribly before he decides that she doesn't have the photo. To make sure, he kills her and burns the house. The sheriff has never faced a crime of this magnitude, but Lucas Davenport, famed for his crime-solving with the Minneapolis police, is vacationing in a nearby cabin and joins the search for the killer. The hunt become more pressing as the Iceman continues to kill in search of the photo. The pace becomes steadily more frantic and ends in a terrific chase. The author throws you several red herrings, but you should figure out the Iceman's identity about halfway through the book. This doesn't detract from the suspense. I had trouble putting the book down. The characters are great, and icy, bitter cold is a main factor in the snowbound countryside. It's a great thriler - well worth reading.

Summary: Best Of The Prey Series
Comment: Lucas Davenport ain't never going to be Harry Bosch, but he's a good enough morally ambivalent character that you care about what he does and why he does it. Of the Prey series, this is a standout for its plot about ugly sexual behavior in the sticks and for its detailed evocation of Minnesota in the dead (no pun intended) of winter. Mystery aficionados already know this book, and they'll tell you that another great thing about it is that Sandford plays fair with the plot. Things get strange, but there's a logical thread throughout. Superior reading for long-distance air travel.

Summary: Not the Best of Prey
Comment: I'm a huge fan of the Prey series and perhaps after reading too much of any series, one may tire a bit of the formula. I don't know but I found this installment to be uninspired and a tad tedious.
The subject of child porn should be a truly galvanizing and disturbing thing - simply because it is a hrrific thing - but the treatment by Sandford left me infifferent to the fate of just about everyone.
Sandford's better than this.
