Rating: 5 stars
Summary: couldnt put it down
Review: This is my 1st John Sandford read and i liked it very much..I wasnt able to put it down much and polished it off in less than a day..The three main characters, the infamous Lucas, Carmel and the seductive Clara had a really interesting little battle of wits, skills and dialogue..I recommend it to all and especially Johns fans..I look forward to reading the rest of his series

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Lucas Davenport's legend grows.
Review: This is John Sandford's tenth book starring Minneapolis police detective Lucas Davenport. The "Prey" novels, much like James Patterson's Alex Cross books, have several ongoing plotlines that add continuity value to the stories. Like all Sandford's books, Certain Prey is packed full of colorful villians, great cop talk, and lots of interesting investigation procedures that Davenport is careful to follow lest his quarry get off due to a technicality. Clara Rinker is Davenport's sport for this book, but she's a careful professional killer with a nack for covering her escapes. When Lucas gets close she takes it personally and suddenly the detective finds himself in the unfamiliar role of being the quarry in a deadly game of cat & mouse. With an ending even long time readers won't guess, Certain Prey is "certainly" one of John Sandford's best.(If you're a "continuity junkie" like me, start with the first book Rules of Prey and read them all in copyright order. They get progressively better as you go.)

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good Prey
Review: I was really pleased with how this book turned out. I head that it wasn't the best, but I really like it. I was on the edge of my seat when our hero Davenport was dancing with the person he was looking for. I hightly suggest Certain Prey. It's a food read with a lot of plot twists.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Dancing With the Devil
Review: Lucas Davenport returns in a (somewhat) politically correct thriller with a viperous lady lawyer and a cuddly former topless dancer turned professional hit woman. To his credit, Mr. Sanderford does try to crawl into the head of a female, but (of course) he misses quite a lot. Well written, an enjoyable read. Davenport always solves the mystery, but there is a lot of mayhem, gore, sex and nastiness along the way, along with too many bodies to keep count of.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Another Great One
Review: This is a typical John Sandford (Camp) output. It is so outstanding you can literally not put it down. I don't know where he gets his ideas, but every one is magnificent, surpassed only by his spellbinding writing talent. Buy this one immediately!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Spellbinding
Review: It has been awhile since a book has held my attention as this one did.

I hiaghly reccommend it to anyone who likes a very bleveable thriller.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Disturbing
Review: I have read and enjoyed several of John Sandford's books and was looking for another enjoyable experience with Certain Prey. I didn't get it. The hit woman and the murderously jealous psychopath who hired her were painted in such a light that I found myself sympathizing with them. I find this disturbing. I would have given it zero stars if I had tossed it out after the first couple of chapters. However, as with all of Sandford's books, it was intriguing and kept me reading to the last page.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Exciting thriller; great antagonists
Review: This is the first Sandford thriller I've read. I enjoyed the two villains in this piece even better than Sandford's hero, Lucas Davenport, who comes off a bit dry for my taste.

But watch out for the two lethal ladies; once you pick up this fast-paced thriller, you won't put it down. Excellent pacing, great action, and a good ending. If you like good thrillers, this is for you.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: my first prey series book - what a treat!
Review: this book was really good....fast paced, it read like a movie and was a great change from some of the plodding, overly descriptive books i have encountered in the past. the author is a whiz at keeping the action non-stop and I was racing home to read some more... i will definitely purchase more of the prey series - this book was great!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Certain Prey
Review: Have read all of Sanford's books and anxiously await each new one. This book is one you can't put down. The two women characters are so thoroughly cold and calculating yet with some frailities. Lucas Davenport is a great character and also his co-workers in the department are so real. Have given the book to 3 others and they couldn't put it down either.
