Unabridged ... finally.

I am a major fan of Sandford's "Prey" series, so I admit a bias here. I love them all. I have listened to Sudden Prey a few times in the abridged version (I have it on cassette). But finally here is an unabridged version, which is even better. Richard Ferrone is an excellent narrator - to me, he IS the voice of Lucas Davenport.

Not my favorite, but...

This prey book seems a little dull, relatively speaking, compared to John Sandford's usual stories. Instead of the extreme psycho crazy sadistic cruel but brilliant villains, these guys seem to be just mean. And not real smart. I've never been a fan of cowboy stuff, but if you fancy it this book is for you. it has the old west gunfighter showdown ok corral flavor but the suspense is really only edge of your seat caliber in the last scene after the main event. one of the highlights is that Lucas and Weather find out about each other in a deep and dark way. It's still great entertainment but has some foggy areas.

Yep, Another Great Story.

As usual, Lucas Davenport (and his team) do not disappoint. There is a lot of action and the plot can seem a little chaotic, however, that's kind of I would expect a scenario like this to play out. My only concern after reading this book is that I need to buy more credits to get the rest of the series.

Sudden Prey

another suspenseful mystery for Lucas Davenport. John Sandford does his usual great job with this book and the narration is wonderful I highly recommend this series.

Another excellent read

I enjoyed this book a lot. There were some drawn out scenarios that slowed the story down for me. For instance, I thought FINALLY when Lucas caught on to who was the bad cop. Overall, really good story.

Excitement

Well written and very exciting. He crafts a story from start to finish that keeps you hanging on to every word.

Another winner

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

Yes I would. It's part of a series that I am enjoying very much.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Yes. Not knowing where the next cop would be attacked, or where, made every moment intense.

What does Richard Ferrone bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

His changing vocal inflection for the different characters is so subtle, yet, distinct, you start to recognize the characters by their conversation.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No. I listen to audiobooks when I go to bed. Depending on how tired I am dictates how many nights it takes to complete a book.

Any additional comments?

I am really enjoying this series.

Best one yet

If you thought "Mind Prey" was good, this one will blow your socks off. Great Story, Fast Paced.

Wonderful Police Novels

Read all these years ago. now I'M enjoy ING listening to them. Only way I can stand to exercise.

Great one!

This book is definitely one of my favorites in the series! Weather is a bit of an ass but who know what anyone would really be like in that situation. Still kinda bugs me haha
Overall. GREAT book!!!
