The Empress File (Kidd Book 2)

Another great read by this master of the mystery with subtle twists and turns. It's one of those books that I have to force myself to put down. Everyone should take a break from life and some a few hours with this book or any of the other John Sandford classics.

I've read most of the Davenport and Flowers novels and continue to be impressed me Sandford's ability to alter his writing style just enough to distinguish the characters and plots. Kidd is a special combination of rogue and hero which makes for a delicious read. On to the next!

I love John Sanford's story telling. More like an addiction. I've lost track of which ones I have missed, so I do end up reading a few twice. And in enjoy them the 2nd time also. Whether its Lucas Flowers I like the books.

I finally stopped reading this book at 54%. The story gave me problems in several ways. One was Kidd and Lou Ellen committing crimes with poor justification. Another was choosing such a poor and vulnerable place to live during the caper - a houseboat (can't get away, sinkable, big and easy target, etc, etc). This book did not flow like his other books.
