In life she was a high-profile model. In death she is the focus of a media firestorm that’s demanding action from Lucas Davenport, because one of Davenport's own men is a suspect in her murder. But when a series of bizarre, seemingly unrelated slayings rock the city, Davenport suspects a connection that runs deeper than anyone had imagined—one that leads to an ingenious killer more ruthless than anyone had feared. . . .©2000 John Sandford; (P)2000 Putnam Berkley Audio, a member of Penguin Putnam Inc.

Critic reviews

“You won’t want to miss it.” —Los Angeles Times

“Captivating.” —Chicago Sun-Times

“When you come out of the twists and turns that are Easy Prey, it is a marvel how [Sandford] could do this...he’s a writer in control of his craft.” —Chicago Sun-Times

“Crackerjack suspense...[Sandford’s] at the top of his game again with Easy Prey.” —New York Post

“Wildly successful...contains all the elements fans have come to expect: solid plot, gallows humor...sex, and the likeable, self-assured Davenport.” —Booklist

“A grand guignol of a climax.” —Kirkus Reviews

“Rapid-fire action...sharply evocative.”–Minneapolis Star Tribune

Easy Prey is hard to put down.”—Richmond Times Dispatch

“The dialogue is deft, the melodrama masterfully orchestrated and the conclusion truly culminant. As secrets explode, as bullets fly and bodies fall, and as the ground keeps shifting, there’s hardly time to keep up with the spectacle.” —The Los Angeles Times

“[An] ever-entertaining series. As always, it’s a joy to follow this rare cop who gets led more often by his gut instinct than by clues. His humor, understated and perverse, can be wildly funny, and the people he runs across are shrewdly conceived originals.” —Publishers Weekly

“Here’s hoping that John Sandford never retires Lucas Davenport or stops dreaming up diabolical killers for the supersleuth to battle. The author’s unbeatable at juggling suspense, comedy, sex...and [his] plots seem to be moving faster than ever.” —The New York Post

“Lucas Davenport is always in top form, and with Easy Prey, Sandford has another winner to add to the Prey books.” —The Orlando Sentinel

I felt this story had too many players and too much going on., especially the final third of the book. it was difficult to follow and the ending just so-so.

more complicated than other Sanfords

I enjoyed this book as far as the plot and story but come on. Davenport's love life almost takes center stage from the story. He can't do an interview with a pretty woman without sleeping with her? Every time the plot starts to get good he takes a break to chase skirt. Fortunately the distractions don't get too detailed so it's not to hard to get back in the story. If you can get by those interuptions it's a good book and worth the time if you're on a long drive.

Not good either. I broke my own rule about getting abridgements. I rated it as high as I did because it is a John Sandford and the reader is excellent. This abridgement is choppy and some minor plot lines come and go at odd intervals and make little sense in the overall flow of the novel.

Not bad for an abridgement

I have read many of John Sandford's early books & found them enthralling. They were exciting, heart pounding suspenseful books with very three dimensional characters. I don't know what happened with this book but the characters are almost caricatures - except they are too two dimensional to even be that. I'm not sure I'll even finish it. This book reminds me of the new Tom Cruise/Steven Spielberg "War of the Worlds." We walked out of that movie half way through it because we found it so boring. It relies on special effects but it takes more than explosions to make an interesting movie. And it takes more than drugs & alternative life styles to make for an exciting book. I am really disappointed in JS for having released this book with its' cardboard characters & boring plot. I would have given it zero stars if I could.

I have normally really enjoyed the books in the Prey Series but didn’t like this book. I’ll listen to the next one.
