Night Prey

by John Sandford

Lucas Davenport is back and working with the Minneapolis PD. He’s got a heck of a case on his hands—a serial killer named Koop who enjoys disemboweling his victims. Koop is also a burglar and a stalker. Isn’t that nice?

Helping him on the case is Meagan Connell, a state investigator who is determined to catch a killer. This case is particularly urgent for Connell, since she’s dying of cancer.

You know how the rest of the story goes. I liked this one because part of the story takes place in Saint Paul. I could actually recognize the areas in which Davenport travelled. On the other hand, the novel wasn’t super suspenseful, and the ending seemed to be a bit of a cop-out.
