The story line was a good one; however, it didn't take long to start eliminating suspects. I enjoyed many things about this novel. In particular I enjoyed the way in which you are put in suspense, then brought out of it. I also enjoyed the way Davenport's friends (Co-workers) all seemed to think they knew what was best for him. At times, I found myself laughing at some of the things that were said to him about his personal life and his rebuttales.
Stephen Lang did a good job of narrating this book. This book is set in Minnasota but Mr. Lang portrayed the detectives, in particular Chief Davenport in the same manner as most detectives in New York City are portrayed on television and in the movies. Like I said, this was my first experience with Mr. Sandford and perhaps that was the way in which he wanted them to be portrayed.
This is definately a hard core detective novel. If you want to listen to this audio-book, don't do it with the kids in the car.
If you like hard core detetective novels then this is a book for you. It was my first but not my last experience with Mr. Sandford.
This was an above average book that I can recommend to others; however, if you don't care for foul language you might want to shy away.
Unfortunately, the killer is off-page for a good portion of the books middle to last third, and I still find Lucas Davenport a bit flat for my taste. However, the supporting cast and the villain (s) are all well drawn, and the Corporate takeover setting is a welcome twist.
Good, but not highly recommended.Not Great This was not that great. I just held on till I found out who the killer was, then I had to force myself to finish it. Do not let this be your first book of the Prey Series. Trust me, the other books in the series are much, much better. I only suggest this book if you get bored and there is nothing else to read.
