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)

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.

A lighter read

I really enjoyed this book! There were a lot of deaths but it felt lighter than others in this series and I really enjoyed it

The Sandford Touch

This novel really follows up on what we expect from John Sandford. The twists and turns of this one does not disappoint. It really gets into the mind of the criminal and the cop as the desperate criminals try to figure the next move to cover their crimes, and the cop struggles with just enough information to keep him going, and questioning why this is happening. Great listen!

Invisible Prey

Another excellent installment in the Lucas Davenport series. An excellent plot with with some truly odious yuppy villains. Also has some nice subplots abour antiques, and quilts.

Another excellent

While some authors seem to lose their edge or focus, John Sanford continues to get better and better with a continuing character. His main character, Lucas Davenport, continues to evolve and define with each book. I found "Invisible Prey" somehow funnier than some of the other Prey novels. The conversations between characters is believable and often very witty. Sanford includes all the favorite supporting characters who keep Lucas informed and in line.
I would highly recommend this book and I am already looking forward to the next book in the series.

Great read

I always enjoy John Sandford's books. This was not a disappointment. It was full of changes when you thought you knew who did it and then you change your mind.

Hard book to turn off.

The story is easy to follow and keeps you on the story line with interest
