Book Reviews of Broken Prey
Book Review: Disappointing Conclusion
Summary: 3 Stars
This review contains spoilers!
First what is good about the book, for the most part it is well-written (except the early pages), & it intrigues the reader into thinking what the connections may be.
And then comes the ending, a killer out of the blue, who somehow has managed to completely access another person's personnel records, who somehow manages to fool everybody, & seems like super-intelligent & super-organized, which is highly unlikely. I always hated this kind of stunt. As a reader, I read a book not for "trick ending" (& even that doesn't woek very well, since the killer's detailed actions are rather sketchy), but rather to be encouraged to think, to follow the characters' thoughts & actions to guess from a variety of characters what psychological underpinnings are driving one of the characters to act that way. Otherwise it is not something I'd invest intellectually in. Agatha Christie did that kind os stunt ending but even she at least gave some idea of the culprit. And she was the first, & her Hercule Poirot was liable in his quirkiness. One more thing. So Lucas Davenport is a jock (hockey player); tech-smart (designed his own software), multimillionaire; street-smart obviously; good with his hands (built his own house); handsome; ages slower than normal human beings; & is married to a gorgeous doctor, one of the best in her field. WOW! Why not make him able to move objects with his thoughts in the next book.
