Storm Prey is a
stupid 3 Stars. Honestly that is not a put down. The theme of stupid criminal runs throughout, actually is the backbone of the plot. Where Sandford used to have really devious and brilliant adversaries, he gives us a bunch of Darwin award winners for criminals here. The robbery of the hospital pharmacy begins a chain of events that puts Lucas's wife Weather in harm's way, brings Virgil Flowers into the main story, and reunites a bunch of the old gang of "Prey" characters. There is no "Storm" here until the end, so not clear why that was in the title--he must be running out of words to precede "Prey". There is a lot of medical info as we follow Weather in her job, not pertinent to the story but interesting in a way. I bumped it to 3 Stars because he actually described a character as "Christian, conservative and competent". Holy crap, he musta got a whipping from his lib friends for that one, considering his constant put down of conservatives in other books in the series. It reads exceptionally fast and really no mystery on where this one will wind up.
