Lethal Prey

A Prey Novel, Book 35

De: John Sandford

Narrado por: Robert Petkoff

Lucas Davenport and Virgil Flowers join forces to track down a ruthless killer who will do whatever it takes to keep the past buried, in this latest thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author John Sandford.

Doris Grandfelt, an employee at an accounting firm, was brutally stabbed to death . . . but nobody knew exactly where the crime took place. Her body was found the next night, dumped among a dense thicket of trees along the edge of an urban park, eight miles east of St. Paul, Minnesota. Despite her twin sister Lara Grandfelt’s persistent calls to the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, the killer was never found.

Twenty years later, Lara has been diagnosed with breast cancer. Confronted with the possibility of her own death, she’s determined to find Doris’s killer once and for all. Finally taking matters into her own hands, she dumps the entire investigative file on every true crime site in the world and offers a $5 million reward for information leading to the killer’s arrest. Dozens of true crime bloggers show up looking for both new evidence and “clicks,” and Lucas Davenport and Virgil Flowers are called in to review anything that might be a new lead.

When one of the bloggers locates the murder weapon, Lucas and Virgil begin to uncover vital details about the killer’s identity. But what they don’t know is the killer lurks in plain sight, and with the true crime bloggers blasting every clue online, the killer can keep one step ahead. As the nation maneuvers the detectives closer to the truth, Lucas and Virgil will find that digging up Doris’s harrowing past might just get them buried instead.

One of New York Post's 30 Must-Read New Thrillers

"A superlative police procedural paired with an outrageous serial-killer saga, enlivened by an array of quirky characters." —Wall Street Journal

Story like was good

The ending was a real disappointment and so unlike Sandford the whole of the story was good but left you hanging at the end

no ending

This story didn’t have a poor ending. It didn’t have any ending. It sounded as if my copy were defective, but it turned out not to be. It was as if someone notified the author that the book was due: just send in what you have so far and we’ll publish it. The rest of the book was good, but neither of the protagonists was up to their previous talents.

terrible ending

the ending leaves you wondering what happenef, loved it up to the ending. the endjng left me disliking the entire book.

Lack of a satisfactory conclusion

Excellent storyline, as usual. Solid performance. Interplay between Lucas and Flowers entertaining. Lacks a satisfying conclusion. The antagonist is interesting so a sequel would be welcome.

Terrible Ending

Really enjoyed the story but what happened to the ending? It felt like the chapter was missing and there was no closure.
