Publisher's summary

The “Prey” novels by Pulitzer prize-winning journalist John Sandford consistently make the best seller lists, but they are not for the faint of heart. Featuring Minneapolis Lieutenant Lucas Davenport, these thrillers are raw, graphic, and impossible to put down. In Eyes of Prey, a depressed and unfocused Davenport takes on a macabre case, tracking down a serial killer who maims the eyes of his victims after he has murdered them.

excellent as always

love his books, listening on audiobooks makes it convenient. i reallly developed a sense of the characters and felt I personally knew them

Great read

Another great Davenport story, the best so far. Has everything you would want in a thriller especially the ending.

Third Prey Book

Good story …. Decent research…. But I’m wondering how many murders can possibly happen like this in mpls/ stpaul - I reside there and work there and I’m like this can’t be for real ….

the ending was great.

i didn't care for the narration , and the audio editing was choppy and the narrator read very slow and inconsistent with the character voices.

Better than the last book

This book was better than Shadow Prey. We get to see that Lucas can be faithful to a woman. We see that Jennifer finally got a backbone and left Lucas. The ending of this book was a well executed shock. I think I will try to read the next one. Great narration and excellent writing. Five stars!

Lucas is a bad ass

Lucas is a very believable character. my kind of guy. he also has a good cast friends and associates.

Eyes are all Telling

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Most definitely. John Sandford's, Eyes of Prey, is a wonderful listen. The way he writes is awesome. His character's all have their place in his novel's. Look at the blue eye on the cover and you can't resist reading this book. They say the cover of a book tells how good the book will be. I am one to look at the cover and make a judgment about reading a book but I also read the plot and reviews, too. However, ALL of John Sandford's books are excellent, even if the cover isn't to my liking.

What did you like best about this story?

The story made me want to keep listening until the end.

Which character – as performed by Richard Ferrone – was your favorite?

The man, Lucas Davenport.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I would get a smirk on my face at times, a little giggle once in awhile. However, I would sit, listen and become quite unglued and wonder how an author could create such evil people. But I buy all of his books and listen very intently. I don't want to be disturbed, either. If I had the time, I would read the book all in one sitting. Purchase every book in the series, there hasn't been one I didn't enjoy.

Any additional comments?

I have purchased most of John Sandford's books. However, since audible now has complete series, there are a few that I haven't purchased. After writing this review, I am going to purchase the next book for full price. There were a few loose ends that need tied up now and not in 16 days when my credits come due.

this book established Sandford as an artist

If you could sum up Eyes of Prey in three words, what would they be?

The penultimate Davenport

Any additional comments?

This is the most interesting villain in any of Sandford's novels. I've read them all and this one stands out as exceptional.

John Sandford rocks the house…once again.

Street wise, tough, insightful and full of sharp turns, Eyes of Prey is my favorite so far of the Lucas Davenport series. Couldn’t put it down.

Lucas does it as usual

This guy’s methods and attitude totally rule. This was my 3rd in the series and can’t wait to get to the next one.
