When a simple robbery turns deadly, the thieves close in on the only witness: Lucas Davenport's wife... From Publishers Weekly Starred Review. At the start of bestseller Sandford's superb 20th Lucas Davenport thriller (after Wicked Prey), the getaway vehicle from a botched early morning robbery, which results in a pharmacy employee's death, almost collides with the car driven by Lucas's surgeon wife, Weather Karkinnen. Weather, who was on her way to work at the Minnesota Medical Research Center, becomes a key witness. Sandford masterfully handles both sides of the equation as the thieves—planner Lyle Mack, his brother, Joe, and their henchmen—work to cover their crime. The investigation belongs to Minneapolis deputy chief Marcy Sherrill, but Lucas of the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension pulls out all the stops to protect his wife. Sandford creates additional drama throughout as Weather and a skilled team of doctors perform an operation to separate twins joined at the skull. Sharply drawn characters, intricate plotting, and smooth dialogue make this a sure-fire winner. 500,000 first printing; author tour.

Rob the pharmacy at Minneapolis’ largest hospital: in, out, wait till things cool down, and then sell the drugs for a half million or so. But the old man had to be a hero. Who knew he’d be on blood thinners and die after he was kicked? A robbery turned murder means Lucas Davenport and his Bureau of Criminal Apprehension team are called in to assist the investigation. There’s another element to the case for Davenport: his wife, Weather, a surgeon at the hospital, may be able to identify one of the killers. The case starts to escalate. An attempt is made on Weather’s life. The bodies of two motorcycle gang members are found in a rural area. Davenport guesses the gang is imploding from the pressure and murdering its members. Weather, under 24-hour guard, is part of a surgical team working to separate conjoined twins in a procedure that’s captured the attention of the world’s media. Meanwhile, Davenport and his team keep finding bodies of likely robbers but can’t seem to isolate either the brains behind the theft or the hospital insider who pointed them at the pharmacy. The twenty-second Prey novel includes most of the elements readers expect: sharp plot, snappy dialogue, and believable action, but the background playfulness and gallows humor that usually fill in the gaps are in short supply. But hey, that’s nitpicking. On balance, this is another fine entry in a wildly popular series. --Wes Lukowsky

Do not you type of hate how we've entered the decadent period of Goodreads where probably fifty percent (or more) of the evaluations published by non-teenagers and non-romancers are now actually bare and unabashed inside their variously efficient attempts at being arc, wry, meta, parodic, confessional, and/or snarky? Don't you sort of maple (secretly, in the marrow of one's gut's merry druthers) for the nice ol'days of Goodreads (known then as GodFearingGoodlyReading.com) when all opinions were uniformly plainspoke Do not you sort of hate how we have joined the decadent phase of Goodreads wherein probably fifty % (or more) of the reviews written by non-teenagers and non-romancers are now nude and unabashed in their variously efficient efforts at being posture, wry, meta, parodic, confessional, and/or snarky? Don't you kind of wood (secretly, in the marrow of your gut's happy druthers) for the nice ol'times of Goodreads (known then as GodFearingGoodlyReading.com) when all reviews were evenly plainspoken, simply utilitarian, unpretentious, and -- above all else -- dull, dull, dull? Do not you type of loathe when persons state'do not you think in this manner or feel this way'in an endeavor to goad you equally psychologically and grammatically in to accepting using them? In the words of ABBA: I do, I really do, I do(, I do, I do). Well, because the interwebs is just a earth in which days gone by stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the present (and with fetish porn), we could revisit days gone by in their inviolable presentness any time we wish. Or at the very least till this website finally tanks. Consider (won't you?) Matt Nieberle's overview of Macbeth in their entirety. I have bound it with huge string and dragged it here for your perusal. (Please understand that several a sic are intended in the next reviews.) their actually difficult and silly! why cant we be reading like Romeo and Juliet?!?! at the very least that guide is excellent! There you have it. Refreshingly, not a evaluation published in one of many witch's comments or alluding to Hillary and Bill Clinton or discussing the reviewer's first period. Only a primal shout unleashed in to the black wilderness of the cosmos.Yes, Mr. Nieberle is (probably) an adolescent, but I admire his power to strongarm the temptation to be clever or ironic. (Don't you?) He speaks the native language of the idk generation by having an economy and an understanding that renders his convictions all the more emphatic. Here's MICHAEL's report on the exact same play. You may'know'MICHAEL; he's the'Problems Architect'only at Goodreads. (A problematic title itself in that it implies that he designs problems... which can be the case, for several I know.) This book shouldn't be required reading... reading plays that you don't want to learn is awful. Reading a play kinda sucks to start with, if it was meant to be read, then it will be a novel, not really a play. Together with that the teach had us students see the play aloud (on person for every single character for a couple pages). None of us had browse the play before. None of us wanted to see it (I made the mistake of taking the'easy'english class for 6 years). The teacher picked students that looked like they weren't paying attention. All of this compounded to make me pretty much hate reading classics for something similar to 10 years (granted macbeth alone wasn't the problem). I also hate iambic pentameter. Pure activism there. STOP the mandatory reading of plays. It's wrong, morally and academically. And it also can definitely fuck up your GPA. There's no wasteful extravagance in this editorial... no fanfare, no fireworks, no linked photos of half-naked, oiled-up, big-bosomed starlets, no invented dialogues between the writer and the review-writer. It's simple and memorable. Being required to read plays is wrong, and if you require anyone, under duress, to see a play then you have sinned and are going to hell, in the event that you believe in hell. If not, you're going to the DMV. I am also tired of all you could smug spelling snobs. You damnable fascists with your new-fangled dictionaries and your fancy-schmancy spell check. Sometimes the passionate immediacy of a note overcomes its spelling limitations. Also, in this age when we are taught to respect each other's differences, it appears offensively egocentric and mean-spirited you may anticipate others tokowtow to the petty linguistic rules. Artsy appearance will free of charge by itself regardless of how you are attempting so that you can shackle it. That is certainly ones cue, Aubrey. Within my very own thoughts and opinions, this play Macbeth was this worste peice actually published by Shakespeare, and this also is saying a great deal contemplating i also go through their Romeo and Juliet. Ontop involving it truly is presently astounding story, unrealistic heroes in addition to absolutly discusting pair of ethics, Shakespeare freely molds Sweetheart Macbeth because the correct vilian from the play. Considering she's mearly a tone of voice throughout a corner around along with Macbeth him or her self is usually truely committing a hideous violations, such as tough as well as scams, I wouldn't understand why it is so straightforward to believe in which Macbeth might be willing to do beneficial rather then wicked if perhaps his or her girlfriend had been extra possitive. I believe that your perform is definitely uterally unrealistic. Although the next is definitely the particular ne additionally ultra involving vintage e book reviewing. Though succinct in addition to without the annoying tendency to coyness or perhaps cuteness, Jo's evaluate alludes to a aggression hence profound it's inexpressible. One particular imagines a couple of Signet Vintage Updates hacked for you to sections together with pruning shears with Jo's vicinity. I dispise the following play. It's which I won't possibly supply you with every analogies or similes concerning the amount I not like it. A good incrementally snarkier form might have mentioned a little something like...'I detest this particular play such as a simile I can not appear with.' Not necessarily Jo. She speaks some sort of natural, undecorated reality not fit with regard to figurative language. In addition to there is no problem together with that. One time inside a terrific even though, when you invest in neck-deep in dandified pomo hijinks, it is a pleasant wallow in the hog coop you are itchin'for. Many thanks, Jo. I love you and the useless holding in similes this are not able to approach the bilious hatred as part of your heart. You are mine, as well as My business is yours. Figuratively chatting, associated with course. And now this is my own critique: Macbeth by means of Bill Shakespeare is the foremost literary do the job inside the English language vocabulary, in addition to anyone who disagrees is usually an asshole and also a dumbhead.
