Yet another great one

Thought the book was great and it had alot of twists and turns enough to make it well worth reading. I have to give John two thumbs up for the thought he had to put into it. It will keep you guessing till the end. The ending was really great and I enjoy the prey novels because you never know whats going to happen next. Pure genious Mr. Sandford, keep them comming can't wait to see what you have in store for us next.

Fast read...

I caught where it was headed just pages before the author let you in on who the suspect might be. Fast read, with plenty of action. I do not consider this book XXX as one reviewer noted.

(I dont have to cover all the particulars since there are enough reviews)

I will say that it does reference some matter that ot everyone should read, but most are grown enough to pass through. What is written in adds to the story and gives you the feel for the person behind the killings and that taunting. The different trails that get followed all make sense so the book is like watching a good crime story

Just OK for This Author

John Sanford's "Prey" novels are usually well above average for the type. Good plotting, character development and pace. This one is not up to par. The plot is not remotely believeable. Even more serious is the style. In this effort Mr. Sanford seems to have adopted some of the worst of Tom Clancey or James Patterson. Short paragraphs and than a jump to another scene; lots of gore and immature writing. I frequently felt I was reading a parody of some of the earlier "Prey" books.

Ok

Fan of inspector Lucas Davenport only (I did not like the Kidd serie at all) and his colleagues. It lacks a little bit of tension I found in others ( Mind Prey, Eyes of Prey..) and the idea he had to cut the same action in several paragraphs does not add anything but slowness ( why would he do that ? It seems to me it was not the case in previous ones ?).

However I remain a big fan for the good sense of humor. The plots are good in general, the characters well defined and believable ( Sandford/Camp has the ability to expose us to some random thoughts of his characters thus making them credible and funny most of the time).

Keep writing please because, no matter what, a new Davenport is a treat.
