Rebecka Vigus Why Rebecka loves this book

This is a new book in what I hope will become a series for John Sandford. Lettie Davenport, adopted daughter of Lucas Davenport has become a police officer. While Lucas had hoped she would change her mind about law enforcement, Lettie has embraced it. She finds herself entangled in her first case. Schooled in martial arts and the best shot in her graduating class, she is prepared for most situations. The book is fast paced and keeps you turning the pages. I finished this one well into the wee hours of the morning. I am looking to see Lettie appear in many more books.

From my list on psychological thrills to keep you turning the pages.

Why am I passionate about this?

I have been fascinated with people’s minds since probably my second psychology class in college. It was when I heard a professor say that all creatives were crazy. I argued that one with her. You don’t have to be creative to be crazy; trust me on this, I was right. Yes, many gifted people are borderline, and there really are savants in this world, but I truly believe they are rare. So, I have studied and been up close and personal with people who have psychological issues. I’ve also met some fascinating people who have managed to become successful. Others, not so much.

Rebecka Vigus Why Rebecka loves this book

I loved the pacing of the book. It kept me turning pages. I wanted to know more about Lillian Ross. For a debut book, I was impressed with the characterization of Lillian. I wanted to know what made her tick.

The entire book was a study of the mind, why it does what it does, how it sometimes continues to make the same mistakes, and how untreated trauma keeps cycling over and over.
