Publisher's summary

The “Prey” novels by Pulitzer prize-winning journalist John Sandford consistently make the best seller lists, but they are not for the faint of heart. Featuring Minneapolis Lieutenant Lucas Davenport, these thrillers are raw, graphic, and impossible to put down. In Eyes of Prey, a depressed and unfocused Davenport takes on a macabre case, tracking down a serial killer who maims the eyes of his victims after he has murdered them.

You can’t beat a Lucas Davenport novel!

I am never disappointed with a John Sandford novel and it is a Lucas Davenport novel then you can’t go wrong. These books remind me of the film noir .

One of Sandford's Best

If you could sum up Eyes of Prey in three words, what would they be?

Chilling, Captivating, Intoxicating

What was one of the most memorable moments of Eyes of Prey?

The book was loaded with memorable moments. The name of "Bekker" will always bring a shudder.

What about Richard Ferrone’s performance did you like?

Ferrone is the perfect Davenport! He gives an articulate and stimulating read.

Any additional comments?

This was my first Sandford read. It scared me to death and I loved it! I am working my way through all his books now, but this remains vivid in my mind.

I'm late getting to this 1991 Sandford novel

I really hope that Minnesota does not have as many serial killers as Lucas Davenport and Virgil Flowers have to find in John Sandford novels. Of course Flowers did not arrive on the scene until Davenport was 18 years into his law enforcement career and worked with the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension. This excellent detective novel was just police lieutenant Lucas Davenport and his team. It is about the time of this third Sandford novel that the reader understands that the author is working off a consistent recipe in writing these novels. He alters the content and the way suspense and action build. He also does a nice job of character development with Lucas Davenport. Davenport in likable, but has some rather bad character flaws.

Getting addicted to this series

What made the experience of listening to Eyes of Prey the most enjoyable?

This narrator is awesome. No question when he changes characters.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Yes. It's very exciting from start to finish. Stayed on the edge of my seat from one victim to the next.

Have you listened to any of Richard Ferrone’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

This is the second book I have listened to narrated by Ferrone. I truly become a bigger fan with every paragraph.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

No

Any additional comments?

The combination of good storyline, believable main character and realistic narration make this series irresistible.

Dark and fascinating

The villan is very insane and on every drug I've never heard of. Lucas is brilliant but chronically depressed. Even though the book is short on humor the basic storyline gets so out of control that it borders on humorus, if evil makes you smile. The reader is outstanding. Sandford is some fantastic story writer.
