**** 4 stars
I approached the newest Lucas Davenport novel (#24!) with a fair amount of trepidation; I was bitterly disappointed by the last two novels from Sandford. Was he starting to phone it in? Was he hiring ghost-writers?
I don't know about that but I do know this was a fun read. Back to the good ol' formula that has worked for most of the Davenport books. A good mystery with an interesting variation (partners - I don't think this is a spoiler; the reader knows this very early on) and some interesting and creative plot points. Familiar characters, even if only in a cameo (Virgil Flowers). Pretty much what I hope for when I read a favorite author.
