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.

A Sandford Masterpiece!

Could be the best detective novel I've read and that's saying something. Definitely in the top five. I enjoyed the second reading as much or more than the first. Ferrone's performance is spectacular on the audio. Quite a few pages, but enough murders to keep the reader spellbound.

Eyes are all Telling

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Most definitely. John Sandford's, Eyes of Prey, is a wonderful listen. The way he writes is awesome. His character's all have their place in his novel's. Look at the blue eye on the cover and you can't resist reading this book. They say the cover of a book tells how good the book will be. I am one to look at the cover and make a judgment about reading a book but I also read the plot and reviews, too. However, ALL of John Sandford's books are excellent, even if the cover isn't to my liking.

What did you like best about this story?

The story made me want to keep listening until the end.

Which character – as performed by Richard Ferrone – was your favorite?

The man, Lucas Davenport.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I would get a smirk on my face at times, a little giggle once in awhile. However, I would sit, listen and become quite unglued and wonder how an author could create such evil people. But I buy all of his books and listen very intently. I don't want to be disturbed, either. If I had the time, I would read the book all in one sitting. Purchase every book in the series, there hasn't been one I didn't enjoy.

Any additional comments?

I have purchased most of John Sandford's books. However, since audible now has complete series, there are a few that I haven't purchased. After writing this review, I am going to purchase the next book for full price. There were a few loose ends that need tied up now and not in 16 days when my credits come due.

this book established Sandford as an artist

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

The penultimate Davenport

Any additional comments?

This is the most interesting villain in any of Sandford's novels. I've read them all and this one stands out as exceptional.

John Sandford rocks the house…once again.

Street wise, tough, insightful and full of sharp turns, Eyes of Prey is my favorite so far of the Lucas Davenport series. Couldn’t put it down.
