Publisher's summary

Few writers have explored the human dark side with as much insight and power - and in Winter Prey, his shattering New York Times best-seller, Sandford tells his most ice-blooded tale of all. Minneapolis Lieutenant Lucas Davenport has tracked killers in cities across America. But even he may be unprepared to face the savage murderer hunting human prey in the Wisconsin woods this winter.

I just really enjoy this series

I really enjoyed this book. It started with a bang in both the description of a brutal murder and brutal weather. Sandford did a great job of using the weather as its own character in this book. Lucas is is out of his element in this book. He is a very small town with rumors and information flowing around him and he can’t control the situation with the cops, witnesses and the press the way he normally does.

I had two main issues with this book. One is that I didn’t really feel like the murderer was on par with Lucas. Maybe he was but I wasn’t feeling like that which is going to make my other issue seem contradictory. This felt more like a Virgil Flowers case than a Lucas Davenport case. I could visualize Virgil tearing up that little village with his manipulations more than Lucas.

Weather – not sure what I think about Weather. I have issues not with her but with the author tending to put Lucas’ romantic interest in the middle of everything resulting in the same old trope book after book. I did like her character and she seems to fit with Lucas as in she is strong and independent, and he seems to like that in his romantic partners.

I never have any issues with the narrator. Wonderful as always.

Oh Well

I did struggle to finish this. Though there were parts of it that I couldn't wait to get through there were more parts of it that I kept thinking what is the point this is been going over and over and over so. But Sanford is a good writer and never really disappoints.

Just okay.

It was not my favorite Sanford book. I personally didn't care for the narrator's voice.

Great mystery!

If I wasn't hooked after the first few Prey books WINTER PREY strapped me in all the way for everything John Sanford will EVER write! Mind blowing plots

A thrill ride

This series is amazing. A great writer matched with a great narrator. This entry will have you guessing who the killer is from beginning to end. Each new chapter will bring you closer to the edge of your seat. Then when it's over, you'll want more.
