The "maddog" murderer who is terrorizing the Twin Cities is two things: insane and extremely intelligent. He kills for the pleasure of it and thoroughly enjoys placing elaborate obstacles to keep police befuddled. Each clever move he makes is another point of pride. But when the brilliant Lieutenant Lucas Davenport, a dedicated cop and a serial killer's worst nightmare, is brought in to take up the investigation, the maddog suddenly has an adversary worthy of his genius.

Virgil Flowers kicked around for a while before joining the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension. First it was the army and the military police, then the police in St. Paul, and finally Lucas Davenport brought him into the BCA, promising him, "We'll only give you the hard stuff." He's been doing the hard stuff for three years now, but never anything like this.

Best-selling author John Sandford takes all the action and suspense of his acclaimed Prey novels and heads west to the dark gleam of L.A.- where the Night Crew works. A mobile unit of video freelancers, they prowl the midnight streets to sell to the highest network bidder. Murders. Robberies. High-speed chases. For them, it is an exhilerating life. But tonight, two deaths will change everything.

Shay Remby arrives in Hollywood with $58 and a handmade knife, searching for her brother, Odin. Odin’s a brilliant hacker but a bit of a loose cannon. He and a group of radical animal-rights activists hit a Singular Corp. research lab in Eugene, Oregon. The raid was a disaster, but Odin escaped with a set of highly encrypted flash drives and a post-surgical dog. When Shay gets a frantic 3 a.m. phone call from Odin - talking about evidence of unspeakable experiments, and a ruthless corporation, and how he must hide - she’s concerned.

Publisher's Summary

In life she was a high-profile model. In death she is the focus of a media firestorm that's demanding action from Lucas Davenport. One of his own men is a suspect in her murder. But when a series of bizarre, seemingly unrelated slayings rock the city, Davenport suspects a connection that runs deeper than anyone had imagined - one that leads to an ingenious killer more ruthless than anyone had feared....

Boring and Tiresome.....

The plot is disjointed ... it's all over the place..... unbelievable, unrealistic and unappealing. Too many characters and false leads ... it was hard to follow.

Worst of all is the bad guy was not the first suspect, not even the second... no common sense in this story. The publisher's summary is ok.

Recommend passing this one by .... move on to another... Stolen Prey and Silken Prey are good ones.

I Like Sanford. Easy Prey Works

First off, don't start Lucas Davenport books with Easy Prey... Why? It's filled with spoilers regarding the ten books that came before. Books you'll enjoy reading when you get hooked by Sanford.

So....
"Easy Prey" => Good
Starting with "Easy Prey" => Bad, even though

"Easy Prey" => Good :-)

Oh, Richard Ferrone IS Lucas Davenport!

Disappointing for Sandford

I love John Sandford's books. I especially like the ones featuring Virgil Flowers but I also enjoy the Lucas Davenport series (especially the ones written in the past 10 - 12 years). The problem with "Easy Prey" is that the plot is all over the place, the murderer isn't really introduced until the last 25 - 50 pages, the motivation is contrived (even for a genre novel) and then there are the WOMEN. One of them is Weather, who, imo, is an attractive character with flaws - in other words, realistic and appealing. Then there is a woman who is intrinsic to the plot and since Weather and Lucas are broken up why shouldn't he have a little fling? But the third woman is just added weight - she's boring and tiresome and I did not for a second buy into the attraction Lucas supposedly has for her. In short, I think there are way better Sandford books available on Audible (I give 5 stars to ALL the Virgil Flowers books) and I recommend choosing one of them and passing on “Easy Prey”.

Disappointing

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

Does not move like other Davenport novels. Somehow disjointed. Had a problem getting to the end.

Different but not bad

I read the poor reviews prior to reading the book and feared the worst, but it honestly wasn't as bad as I feared. I think you see a much different Davenport in this novel, Sandford definitely goes heavy on the womanizer aspect of Davenport's character which makes him seem a little less likable than in other books.

Also, the plot is filled with allot of characters that make it tough to keep track, but again, not as bad as some of the reviews make it sound. I think some readers enjoy "being the detective" and predicting the outcome which is hard in this one, but also pretty realistic. True life crime isn't always a tidy narrative and sometimes the break does come right at the end.

Not his best work, but don't skip if you are a Davenport fan. If anything else, there are important character evolutions you will want to read about for future novels.

Disappointment

Have not read Sandford in order thank goodness. The lack of perceptiveness of Davenport is almost a pattern. The stupidity of good guys is galling - the bad guys always getting the breaks is predictable. Davenports women without common sense - that Weather wasn't killed in operating room a major flaw.

Easy prey

They just get better. Some of the other reviews had me worried. They said to many potential suspects to twisted. I started to not buy this book, I almost skipped over it. I'm sure glad I didn't. Yes there are a lot of suspects and yes it takes a lot of twist and turns but isn't that what a good book is to do? You'll get your money's worth with this one. Enjoy

Another great John Sandford novel.

Loved this one, great pacing and characters, as usual. Very enjoyable for listening while exercising.
