Summary: I expect more from John Sandofrd
Review: I really enjoy the Prey series, and Sandford is one of my favorite writers. Having said that, I was terribly disappointed with this book. The premise was ok, but there were far too many 'empty' sections in the book where nothing happened for pages and pages. If anyone else wrote this book I would have given it only 2 stars. It gets 3 because Sandford's writing still draws you in somewhat. I hope the next one is better, but I will borrow it or get it from the library just in case it is not.

Summary: They wear me out.
Review: I wonder if anyone else is tiring of the increasing coarseness and vulgarity of this series.
This book is a sandstorm of profanities and obscenities. It's easy enough to dislike the bad guy, in this case, James Qatar, but unfortunately it's also getting easy to dislike Lucas Davenport and his crowd. I think I'm avoiding them the next time around. They wear me out.

Summary: Scarey, intense, ....will this bad guy get away?
Review: Chosen Prey is an intense and explicit novel about a sexual predator/murderer. Lucas Davenport is the investigator called in when a body is discovered buried in a wooded area. Davenport is determined to find the killer, and then what was one murder turns into many more. The pattern is clear, but the connections are hard to define. It seems just as they think they are getting close, someone else dies, and the trail goes dim. Davenport and his "team" work at a feverish pace, knowing that more lives are in the balance. The killer is an art history professor with his own way of appreciating performance art. In the midst of the investigation, Lucas Davenport's private life takes a positive turn and his ability to balance all these things becomes critical. John Sandford has created another frightening Prey book, with his tough investigator and a monstrous unassuming killer.

Summary: Sandford always a good read!
Review: Although the ending was very predictable, John Sandford's "Prey" novels are always a good read.

Summary: An initially innocent hobby turns into a platform for death
Review: In John Sandford's Chosen Prey, an art history professor, writer, and secret killer is loose in the form of one James Qatar, whose initially innocent hobby turns into a platform for death. It's up to Deputy Lucas Davenport to head the investigation into why, how and who - with time running out. Highly recommended.

Summary: trash
Review: I thought this book was trashy, it did not keep me interested at all. It would make great toilet reading.

Summary: Another great one
Review: Sandford hits the spot each and every time. This monster did not rate in my opinion as one of the worst but he had his moments. What will come of Weather's hope for Motherhood?, Guess we will have to wait for book thirteen of the series to see. All kidding aside, a very good novel and it seems that is all that Mr. Sandford creates. Will wait for the next one.

Summary: Consistently Good
Review: This is another successful thriller from the mind and pen of one of the most consistently good writers currently plying his craft.We, the readers, are introduced to the killer in the first chapter and are able to follow along as he meets his match with a potential victim who piques his curiosity and challenges his resolve to murder. The reader also is able to see how Lucas Davenport solves a case and interacts with law enforcement, family and friends in the midst of a chaotic personal life. As a graveyard of possible victims is uncovered, the tension and pressure to find the perp mounts and Lucas does what he does best, uncovers clues and interprets evidence to lead him to the inevitable confrontation. However, as usual Sandford is able to add the ingredients of human complexity and fraility to the climax which makes his novels stand above the rest and sends the reader to bed satisfied. Highly Recommended!

Summary: As Good As It Gets!
Review: Being a person who only read Cornwell, Grisham or Reichs I was so happy to find another author that I enjoyed.... CHOSEN PREY was one of the best suspense novels I have read. I stayed up all night to finish it. If you enjoy the above named authors you should make sure to add John Sandford to your line-up. You will not be sorry.

Summary: Choose this Prey
Review: As a mystery writer with my first novel in its initial release, I admire the work of John Sandford. He has been writing thrilling police procedures for an unbelievable length of time. CHOSEN PREY is one of his best. It features wealthy police investigator Lucas Davenport searching for a serial murderer while his significant other decides it is time to start a family. Davenport is also worried about losing his job due to municipal politics, but his hunt for a killer of beautiful blondes is his primary concern. Is the serial killer a priest? Is the serial killer an artist? Is the serial killer a respected professor? The reader knows early and is forced to observe Davenport struggle through the danger of his investigation. Excellent tale in an excellent series.
