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)

Not among his best

Not one of John Sandford/Lucas Davenport's best mysteries, but entertaining as always. No real suspense to it, and the characters were a little bit weak.
I like John Ferrone as a narrator except when narrating a woman's role. His voice was kind of 'off-putting' actually.
I hope I can rate the next in the series with 5 stars.

Great audio for another Lucas

The narrator excellent,separated male/female speech well. Good Lucas story although I was conscious of more gutter language(was this because I was listening instead of glancing over the stuff?).

Fair at best

The story was fair. The narration was poor. I thought the story had potential but was disappointed. Just when I thought the story was about to get really good, the author took a turn taking it to a very mundane place. I did listen to the entire book. I have great endurance.

Great storied

Love the author and his fabulous characters. Great reader as well. Highly recommend this book!

An entertaining read, but not the best

I love the Lucas Davenport tales, but this one was a bit shy of character development.

Invisible Prey (unabridged)

Loved it--it was my introduction to Lucas Devenport and Sandford's works. Since this one I have read or listened to the entire Devenport series. Well plotted with interesting lead characters. Good stories with excellent local color and description provided.

My First Lucas- wow!

This is a great story. So full of rich characters and crazy turns of events. And of course Virgil Flowers sprinkled in here and there. A great read even when you haven't read the 16 that preceded it.

Another creepy villain!

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

Gasping, breath-holder

Who was your favorite character and why?

Lucas Davenport -- he felt bad about Gabriella and wouldn't let go. And, he drives that Porche.

What does Richard Ferrone bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Richard Ferrone reads these stories and you don't listen thinking, that's Richard Ferrone. He has the ability to give each character an individual personality. Sometimes it's amazing.

Lots of intricate brainteasers.

Sanford has gone for the mental part of stories instead of the gruesome part. He is brilliant that way. I personally like the early free books better, but these last and latest are brilliantly written very intricate plotting I believe.

Complicated plot line but ultimately solid

Sandford must have sat up nights plotting this one. When one like this works as well as this one does, we have a winner!
