Mediocre story inconsistently performed.

The first 3/4 of the book was very slow. The final 1/4 was more like a thriller. The motivations and conspiracy were vague. what bothered me most was the narrator's inconsistent voices for the characters! sometimes Davenport's voice was deep and Daniels' voice was higher pitched and nasal, then they would switch!!!! Be consistent!

Too many characters

Good story but slow starter. Too many characters to keep track of. Should have used a native Indian for those speaking parts.

A Thriller Indeed

Sucked into the story immediately and held hostage to it all the way to the end. And a great narrator too.

Great thriller but romance not

This is suppose to be a thriller not a romance. Lucas is a strong character but his many hooks ups have nothing to do with the story, I could care less how many women he takes to be, how many he goes back to and leaves his poor babies mama hanging, no wonder she doesn't want to get married. The really big issue I have is there is to much add ons or filler that have nothing to do with this store. It would be a great listen if it wasn't for all of that. The characters are good, it is an exciting story with lots of thrills, so close calls and some dead. I really don't care that they had sex in a park or where ever it was, all the Indiana's clapping really trashed the store. Is it going to be a thriller, suspense or romance, I won't even call it romance.

The narrator did a good job, this character voices are close together, some times it is hard to understand who is talking. But all in all he did good, his emotions was good, I didn't hear any repeating of words, no background noise, no volume changes.

I have more of this authors to listen to but if it is trashy sex and running around on the one you are suppose to be with it will be the last one I listen to of this author. If I wanted this type of stuff I would get a romance.

I’ll try again on his next one,

Richard Ferrone is Perfect!

Lucas Davenport and his friends continue to develop well. We see glimpses of the future relationships in this early novel. What I liked best was how perfectly Ferrone and Sandford sync. It is as though Sandford wrote his books with Ferrone in mind. He builds the suspense perfectly and allows the darkness of the mystery to settle upon the listener.

Lucas Davenport Continues to Thrive

Would you consider the audio edition of Shadow Prey to be better than the print version?

One of the best in the Prey series. Subtle yet compelling and with a suspenseful plot. Richard Ferrone is a forceful and very listenable narrator.

Indian nation gets their licks in!

Although Mr. Sandford is critical of his attempt at social reform/comment, I enjoyed this book a lot.
