Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A night with Sandford's "Prey" is a night well spent.
Review: John Sandford's "Prey" series is a delight. I've read four so far and each has been an adventure.

Lucas Davenport is a Minnesota cop, with the City of Minneapolis in early "Prey" novels, the State of Minnesota in later ones.

The plot is almost beside the point. A corpse is discovered and so on. Sandford's characters are richly detailed and believable. His plots are inventive and not so far out that you have to swallow credulity to keep moving.

Fun reads. And what higher compliment can I pay?

Summary: Great mystery!!!
Review: A very good mystery. A serial killer's obsession with a beautiful woman produces really gruesome murders. The way Davenport goes about getting his man is well written. I also liked how the secondary murder was solved

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Absolutely Thrilling!
Review: Again a great mystery by John Sandford. His characters are real and credible characters with all their attractions and mistakes. Even the monsters are not those we find in horror novels, but we can read about them in the newspapers every now and then. There are people like this, and Sandford describes them and their motives and pains in an almost clinical way. And again he proves with this book that he is one of masters of suspense. A must for mystery fans.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Edge of your bed reading
Review: An almost perfect suspense book. With the likeable Davenport at his human best and a villain as real as the six o clock news, this one will linger in the dark. There is also a beautiful secondary mystery which is solvable with due consideration. Well done JS

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: An excellent series continues
Review: Don't read this book!

If you're reading this, I assume you haven't read the series up to Night Prey. If you had, you wouldn't waste your time reading reviews. There would be no question. There would be no hesitation. You'd be reading Night Prey.

So since you haven't read the series to this point, start at Rules of Prey. Follow with Shadow Prey, Eyes of Prey, Silent Prey, and Winter Prey. Then it's time for this.

Night Prey is a solid addition to the series to this point. While it doesn't quite stand up to the level of excellence established in the preceding three volumes, it's still a compelling story with memorable characters. And while the main story is one of pure suspense, with any real element of mystery sacrificed to study the villain, Sandford weaves in a subplot which is classic "locked door" (as another reviewer puts it). It's nicely done.

A question for those who've read the book : If SSA is backwards, is SJ as well? What's the author's name?

Summary: Movie
Review: I am reading this book and there are parts of the plot that are very familiar. Is there a movie that is based on this book or a book that is similar? The part where the deaf students remember the guy's license plate number sticks out. I think I either read the same thing in a book or saw it in a movie. Did it seem familiar to anyone else?

Summary: Huh?
Review: I don't get it. I heard so much praise for Sandford novels that I was looking forward to discovering a new author. It was like reading a 'Hunter' episode..it was sooo boring. This book lacked everything! It had no character development and was extremely predictable and unimaginative. I don't like to be so harsh with a review but I cannot understand the accolades.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good series!
Review: I have read all of the previous 'Prey' series and have enjoyed everyone of them. This one was no exception and was even better than some of the previous ones.

I'm planning on reading all of the books in the series and hope the rest are as good as this one.
