FERRONE DOES IT ALL

I wish the mewling about Richard Ferrone's so-called "inability" to do female voices would cease. He can do women, children singing, and multiple male character voices. Get a life!

Another Davenport Adventure

I simply Love Davenport in Minneapolis/St.Paul and all the details that come to life from having lived right there. R.Ferrone is for me the voice of Lucas. Enjoyably fast paced, with a few Big Thrillers to keep all the attention running..... Good Book!!

Prey never lets me down!

Where does Phantom Prey rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Prey is my favorite series...

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

He is by far, the best male reader that I have listened to... and I listen to ALOT of audio books... He just makes me chuckle - the way he reads Lucas or Virgil... I can just picture these two guys - just by how he reads their lines... and of course John Sanford for creating the perfect lines for him to read!!

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

I always laugh... he is such a down to earth writer - writes what people actually say...

Any additional comments?

Love it Love it Love it!

VERY DISAPPOINTING

This mystery seemed simple-minded to me. The clues could have been gathered and the case solved in 40 pages. The worst Sandford homicide mystery I've read!

interesting ploys.

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

Good double plot which holds interest.

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

better than most Sanford books.

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

This was hard one to do given the plot. But issues...

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

nope

My least favorite Lucas Davenport book

This is my least favorite of the Lucas Davenport mysteries and I've listened to every single one of them (and all the Virgil Flowers books) 2 or 3 times. It's not because of the story which is good. It's certainly up to John Sandford's usual quality writing, but rather it's because -- as much as I love Richard Ferrone in all the other Prey books, the voice he uses for the "Fairy" in this book is like nails on a chalkboard. It's sooooooooooooooooooo bad and it's all through the hours and hours of the book. If you have a choice, READ this one. Don't listen to it. Love you Richard Ferrone -- but not in this book!

Another winner by John Sandford!

Although the story started a little slow for me, it quickly picked up kept and the excitement going. Thoroughly enjoy Richard Ferrone's narration.

Nice!!

Another gritty Davenport plot, complete with Davenports top 100 greatest Rock'n'Roll road trip hits. I wrote them down. Will edit a bit, but my kind of list for the most part.
