Bitter Cold Murders

He calls himself the Iceman, and he runs a child porn ring in a tiny community in northern Wisconsin. In the depths of a bitter winter, he realizes that someone has a photo that can identify him and concludes it's the young daughter of a local family. In a grisly scene, he kills the father and mother, then tortures the daughter horribly before he decides that she doesn't have the photo. To make sure, he kills her and burns the house. The sheriff has never faced a crime of this magnitude, but Lucas Davenport, famed for his crime-solving with the Minneapolis police, is vacationing in a nearby cabin and joins the search for the killer. The hunt become more pressing as the Iceman continues to kill in search of the photo. The pace becomes steadily more frantic and ends in a terrific chase. The author throws you several red herrings, but you should figure out the Iceman's identity about halfway through the book. This doesn't detract from the suspense. I had trouble putting the book down. The characters are great, and icy, bitter cold is a main factor in the snowbound countryside. It's a great thriler - well worth reading.

PREY Scares Again

If you have never read a Sandford book what are you reading. Sandford is one of the few writers who scares me. His Prey books are chilling to the bone. Winter Prey is one of best. Read this with every light on in the house.

Excellent

John Sandford is one of the most skillful authors writing mysteries today. I have read many mystery books and found John Sandford's books to be excellent. The plot had suspense, the characters well-developed, seemed to have few mistakes, and had a believable dialogue. I will certainly read more of his books.

Ice, Ice.....2much snow

What I like most about the prey series is the evolution of Lucas Davenport. It is best to read the Prey Series in order, to get an appreciation of Davenport and other characters in his life.

Although not as savvy or smart as some of Davenport's other prey, the Iceman was quite elusive and evil. This is a good read, and I was sad that it was over so fast.

Grusome, yet riveting

Action packed from the word go -- and graphic to leave nothing to the imagination. An excellent murder/mystery that will keep you guessing to the end...
