Certain Prey

De: John Sandford

Narrado por: Richard Ferrone

Her name is Clara Rinker, a Southern woman, trim, pleasant, attractive, and the best hit woman in the business. She isn't showy; she just goes quietly about her business, collects her money, and goes home.

It's when she's hired for a job in Minnesota that things become complicated for her. A defense attorney wants a rival eliminated, and that's fine. But then a witness survives, the attorney starts acting weird, this big cop Davenport gets on her case, and loose ends begin popping up faster than on an unraveling sweater.

Lucas has no idea of the toll the case is about to take on him. For of all the criminals he has hunted during his life, none has been as efficient or as ferociously intelligent as the one who is about to start hunting him, and none has known so well what his weak spots are...and how to penetrate them.

Meet Clara Rinker

I love John Sandford's Prey books, especially the narrated versions because Richard Ferrone is awesome.
One of the reasons I like this book because it introduces Clara, a complex and memorable character. The part about the story I don't care for is the woman who hired Clara. She was a real piece of work. She changed her mind all the time and I was disappointed that Clara went with her crazy ideas so often. Other than that, this is another case where Lucas Davenport goes after the killer with a vengeance. His stubbornness is classic in this book: he suspected the source of all this killing before others saw it. Worthy addition to the Prey series.

The very best

Of all 24 novels this was the first one I read before I chose to read rules of prey. I loved this one as a stand alone book in the series I believe the whole series is worth a listen if you want a real hero type detective

LOVE IT

This whole series is really an exciting read and and now listen. The performance in the several that I have listen to has been as excellent as the story.

This is my favorite

I'm binge listening the series since I've read/listened to every book. And of all of them, this one and one other are my favorites. I love the character Clara Rinker and how her and Davenport interacted. Loved this book.

The female of the species.

The story was exciting and the characters were believable with the ending in doubt until the last page. I enjoyed the technical details right down to the muzzle flash of a .45.

I love the narrator!

Love these books! Glad they use the same narrator. This one has a very good story line.

This was s great one. Very unique story.

this was my favorite Lucas book so far. definitely worth listening to. The narration was great..

Sanford's best work

before he "woke". great from start to finish. Clara rinker is the bomb! I wish his new stuff was this good.

Great read

Loved it! hard to put this one away. This one keeps you hooked in with the multiple twist. And a surprise ending.

The John Sandford series has been a reviving one.

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

I think that one of the things I enjoy the most when reading this series is the narrator he brings the books to life. Great job.
