In Shadow Prey, the crackling sequel to Rules of Prey, Twin Cities Sleuth Lucas Davenport teams up with NYPD Lieutenant Lily Rothenberg to track down an elusive killer, known only as Shadow Love. Among the victims are a Minneapolis slumlord, a judge from Oklahoma City, and a Manhattan politician. The murder weapon is a Native American ceremonial knife.

"Lucas Davenport Continues to Thrive"
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.
"Another Winner"
Good story and great narrator. I hope the author and the narrator keep this up!
"always a good read"

I love listening to books when I exercise

"ALWAYS GREAT"
Yes; the writing is wonderful, stories are intricate, plausible, and a little humor never hurts.
All of the John Sanford books are great; I look forward to each new one as it comes out,. My favorite author, right along with Michael Connelly.
None in particular. All are good.
Yes, but I made myself savor it.
"Not impressed."
Although not exclusively, I do read a lot of crime novels and I am perplexed by the good ratings this one received. There are a lot of good crime fiction authors out there but this is not one. I do make allowances for a novel considering the fact that it is entertainment and does not need to be completely realistic. But this Novel was just bad. The characters are improbable and inconsistent. The dialog is unrealistic and cheesy. The actions of the characters are erratic. The overall idea of the story is good; the rest is just not good. I can imagine that if you are a male seeking a fantasy fulfilling story of a rich tough guy that can have his cake and eat it too and do not care much about the literature value, this is a story for you.

"Not so good"
People who live in St.Paul. Sanford relies on his Twin Cities background way too much on this book...maybe Joe Soucheray liked it....
I'll finish up the last 30 minutes of Team of Rivals.
He is good. Yes I would.
I'll pick door three.
Maybe I'm 'off' on this but I wonder if Sanford wrote it.
Enough sex for teenage girls but to what purpose?
Just not well written. Plus, where is the 'who dun it' part?
I haven't finished yet so maybe it will get better.
"Another winner!"
Yes. Very entertaining and exciting.
Lucas taking no prisoners at the end!
One of my favorite readers. Great job as usual!
"Not the Davenport that I know and like"
The newer works are much better, yes.
No but I will pay more attention to the copyright date.
Good, talented, capable.
Story was intersting at times.
Just really disliked the Davenport character in this book...or should I say lack of character?
"Oldie but Goodie"
Exciting, sarcastic, fun
When Lucas first meets Shadow in the apartment
Richard Ferrone has become Lucas Davenport. His voice brings the right amount of edge, sarcasm and humor. He is a great narrator.
Yes if only I could.
So happy that the old Prey novels have been released in this fashion with Richard Ferrone reading them. Hats off to John Sandford, great author.
"Entertaining"
Yes - unusual storyline and it kept me interested due to the mix of characters
Lucas Davenport - non-conformist
All ok
no - found it mostly enjoyable
None
