Rating:  Summary: i have read all the books in this series Review: i read all the books in the series and i coulnt wait to see a new one out. i absolutely love john sanford as a writter i think he is better than any other authur in his field. if you like suspence and love mind games these are the book for you. i promise that once you start you won't stop until you have read them all. these books are great because you don't have to read them in order but the characters build on to them selves in each book. he is the best!!!!!
Rating:  Summary: Well Developed Characters Review: I really like that this book was a solid believable story. One thing that I appreciate very much about Sanford is that he knows that he doesn't have to try to throw in a bunch of twists and turns to try to surprise you. I enjoy Lucas' relationships, the no nonsense, un-friendships that he has with people. I like the way he treats disadvantaged ex-cons verses the real scumbags. There is plenty of the kind of subtle humorous dialog that I like. And women, he knows what he likes, but he also treats them with respect and equality. Just an all around interesting character!

Rating:  Summary: Not as good as the rest Review: I really wasn't that impressed with Night Prey. I think that Sandford has written better Prey novels and this one really lacks an edge. It has the typical beginnings of a good crime novel, but soon falls away with a boring story and a disappointing ending.Try Mind Prey if you are after a great book by Sandford, this one is not really worth getting unless it is from the library.

Rating:  Summary: A GREAT BOOK! Review: John Sandford's Prey series are wonderful, I could not put Night Prey down. Lucas Davenport is a wonderful, seems alive. If you have not read Night Prey, or any John Sandford's books, do it NOW!
Rating:  Summary: Compelling reading Review: Lucas Davenport is back with the Minneapolis police force as Deputy Chief after a 2 year break. A State Investigator, Meagan Connell, is brought in to help solve the brutal attacks on women.Her demeanour as a tough, no-holds barred female cop, disguises the fact that she is dying of cancer and is determined to solve the case before she dies.A series of successful attacks and murders has given the perpetrator a hunger for more, so he fixates on an attractive and successful business woman and stalks and spies on her repeatedly.This is a hair raising story which will grip the reader to the end as well as giving a frightening look into the twisted and criminal mind of a sadistic rapist and murderer.
Rating:  Summary: A fantastic and well-focused thriller Review: Sandford is again in fine form in this twisted thriller. How JS keeps the reader so focused and engrossed in the plot is a wonder, but the effectiveness of his description and the power of the characters is never in doubt. Davenport is of course the cop on the trail of the serial killer, but whilst this may all sound very ordinary, it is the way the characters and the plot seem so real that makes this book stand out. If you are looking for the ultimate thriller book, this has to be it.
Rating:  Summary: Lucas Davenport on the trail of his toughest killer yet. Review: The classic game of cat and mouse is an evergreen of the mystery genre, and few practice it better than John Sandford and his creation, Minneapolis police detective Lucas Davenport. This is ably demonstrated in the sixth book in the Prey series, "Night Prey." Davenport, hired back by the new police chief to investigate their toughest cases, is pursuing one of the most violent killers he's ever encountered. The unknown perpetrator commits acts of extreme brutality against women, murdering with incredible force and viciousness. As always, Sandford keeps the plot interesting and the action swift, leading us through the investigation along with Davenport as he unravels the Gordian knot of clues and evidence. At the same time, the author gives us the killer's viewpoint, showing us a glimpse of his twisted mind. Sandford excels at this type of parallel storytelling, upping the urgency of Lucas catching the nutcase before he kills again. If you haven't yet had the joy of reading this excellent series, I recommend you start with the first book ("Rules of Prey") and enjoy some of the best writing in the genre.
Rating:  Summary: Davenport getting better Review: The more that I read the Prey series the more I like the characters. This book was a good story of a deranged killer obsessed w/a woman. As usual the killer takes Davenport through a series of adventures. Each book gets better in this series. Must read in order
