Book: Night Prey by John Sandford

A Lucas Davenport novel, written in 1994. Setting is Minneapolis. Serial killer who is slicing up women. Is it interesting to get inside the mind of a psychopath? or fascinating? Does a book like this make the inexplicable easier to understand? I continue to maintain that Sandford does characters and dialogue better than most.

The other case in this story, in which Lucas is minimally involved, was less believable...but was only a small and essentially irrelevant part of the book, and I can imagine the author thinking up unique ways in which people are murdered, just trying out an idea....
