A Lucas Davenport Novel

By: John Sandford

Narrated by: Richard Ferrone

Length: 10 hrs and 44 mins

Publisher's summary

The brilliant new Lucas Davenport thriller from the number-one New York Times best-selling author.

"Sandford's track record as a best-selling author is amazing, but it's not an accident," wrote Booklist of Wicked Prey. "His plotting is sharp, his villains are extraordinarily layered, and his good guys are always evolving.

And this time, there's a storm brewing...Very early, 4:45, on a bitterly cold Minnesota morning, three big men burst through the door of a hospital pharmacy, duct-tape the hands, feet, mouth, and eyes of two pharmacy workers, and clean the place out. But then things swiftly go bad, one of the workers dies, and the robbers hustle out to their truck-and find themselves for just one second face-to-face with a blond woman in the garage: Weather Karkinnen, surgeon, wife of an investigator named Lucas Davenport.

Did she see enough? Can she identify them? Gnawing it over later, it seems to them there is only one thing they can do: Find out who she is, and eliminate the only possible witness.

Critic reviews

"Sharply drawn characters, intricate plotting, and smooth dialogue make this a sure-fire winner." (Publishers Weekly)

Great if you have a long drive ahead of you

...... and no other means of entertainment. This one time, when I was driving to the cottage we counted cows. I think you get the point.

Great Prey book - 2nd best

This is my second favorite prey book (second to Mortal Prey). The plot is well developed and the reader Richard Ferrone, is at his best again. It came together nicely at the end. Definitely recommended!

Another really good novel from John Sanford

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

I love his audio books. Richard Ferrone is excellent. The story is very good, as are all of his novels I've read.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Storm Prey?

There's a pun about Weather getting drunk. It's laugh out loud funny.

Have you listened to any of Richard Ferrone’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I've listened to several (more than 6 less than 12/). He's excellent.

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

No, I had a 5 hour drive to and a 5 hour drive back from a job site. Made the drive enjoyable.

Always good

I'm a faithful fan.
Really a good book.
I live in Minnesota, so I am always saying, "I've been there. I've been there too."

Typical Sanford

Is there anything you would change about this book?

Give the characters more depth!

Would you be willing to try another book from John Sandford? Why or why not?

I have read a few and listened to a few. They are typical "no brainer's" that are easy to listen to when doing chores or tasks.

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

Yes, good narration.

Was Storm Prey worth the listening time?

yes as long as you aren't expecting sophistication.

Any additional comments?

Will continue to listen to his books.

Sandford takes my breath away.

loved it!! Been a fan since the 90' and Sandford never let's me down. always an ear opener.

just OK

This book was just OK. I have enjoyed the Prey books before but found this one fairly lackluster compared to it's predecessors. Maybe it was the reader, who made the charcters either sound alike or annoyingly whiny. Not sure which was the culprit, but if I were a first time reader it wouldn't persuade me to purchase another.

awesome

loved it. especially having Flowers and Lucas together. writing was good and narrator is my favorite.

chilling!

loved it; again. read it about 6 yrs ago. well read and taunt. lived the development of the characters. Lucas's crew as well as the medical characters.

Storm Prey

I wasn't sure early on in my reading if I would finish this book but I kept at it and enjoyed it. It had a lot of happenings to keep track of but was worth the effort.
