Publisher's summary

“A crackling addition to [the] Prey series” (Entertainment Weekly) from number one New York Times best-selling author John Sandford.

In a wealthy Minneapolis neighborhood, two elderly women are bludgeoned to death. They are apparent victims of a random robbery, though nothing of value appears to have been stolen. But when Lucas Davenport looks deeper, he fears that the victims weren’t so random, and the items stolen were far from invaluable. As a pattern emerges it leads Lucas to...certainly not where he expected. Which is too bad, because the killers are expecting him. And that’s only the first surprise….

Critic reviews

"As always for Sandford, entertaining and intelligent reading." (Booklist)

"Interesting and unusual supporting characters, good and bad guys alike, enhance an intriguing puzzle." (Publishers Weekly)

Great!

I really love these books. This was just as good as every other. Great characters and the plots work well.

Richard Ferrone always does a bang up job.

I LOVE Lucas!!!

I love this whole series, and this book was no different!! I love the way Richard Ferrone reads the series! I cannot imagine any other voice than good for Lucas!!! John Sanford... you have a bigger fan in me!!! You keep my attention which is a miracle!! Looking forward to the next book.. starting... right... NOW!!!!!!

Becoming a Fan

I have only read a couple of the Lucas Davenport novels, but am quickly becoming a fan. Especially after listening to Invisible Prey. I liked the charactors and the twists and turns of the plot. The book didn't appear to be just a carbon copy of previous novels in the series. I look forward to the next book.

Great Summer Read

I really enjoyed this current addition to the "Prey" series. The focus was really on the crimes and included several twists and turns that I wasn't expecting. The overall production was slick and the flow was great. I recommend this as a great summer beach read or for a long road trip. I found myself not wanting to turn the story off.

Lucas Davenport .......

This one was a little thin....but very good. There are points where the killers are obvious....but the story is drawn out....assuming that we can't figure it out. Big and little....come on John. I did like the effort though.....however I think Flowers will replace Davenport.....hmmmmmm.

The Curse Of The Armstrong Quilts

This story may be one of the best stories in the Lucas Davenport series. The Armstrong Quilts played a central role as the mystery was unraveled little bit by little bit but, was there a real curse? Maybe or maybe not.

Although the listener knows who the killers are early on, this mystery has so many twists and turns that my attention was held throughout the telling of the story. I was captivated and wondering right up to the end how Sandford would tie all the threads together in the end.

This story has a good plot and Sandford did a wonderful job bringing all the threads together in a reasonable and believable way. I found this story to be entertaining without too much blood and guts, although there were some, of course, but not the heart-pumping, edge of your seat suspense that I've experienced in other prey novels. The pace and tempo of the story moved at a much slower pace than the previous stories while LD investigated and hunted for the serial murderers.

In my opinion, narrator Richard Ferrone is Lucas Davenport, and I agree he does not create believable female voices, but I can tolerate them. Ferrone performed very well.

Lucus Davenport...I love you

But not as much as I love Virgil Flowers. This LD novel is good...I really enjoyed the antagonists in this book.

ANOTHER GREAT PREY NOVEL WITH LUCAS DAVENPORT

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

Yes. The story is excellent, well-written and compelling. It's hard to walk away from this one.

What other book might you compare Invisible Prey to and why?

Any of John Sandford's other "prey" novels.

What about Richard Ferrone’s performance did you like?

He nailed Lucas Davenport a long time ago. There is no other voice for Davenport.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, unfortunately I found myself listening when I should have been doing other things.

Enjoyed the continued characters.

I enjoyed this book and really like the continuation of characters. I like the way everything tied together at the end.

Another great read

As always another great prey book. I was afraid I was not going to see another new Lucas Davenport thriller. Great plot, believeable and yet tricky.
