Luckily, with WINTER PREY, Sandford has changed his structure to the better, creating a nerve-frying tale of terror that ranks with the finest of the decade. The eerie snowbound locations lend plenty of isolated, creepy texture to the plot, while Sandford brilliantly elicits a disturbing, menacing atmosphere that puts us right into the story, giving us ingenious clues and surprise plot revelations to keep us glued to the pages all night long. Lucas Davenport emerges as a fully realized individual, while the supporting characters are first-rate, as are the action scenes and forensic details. A masterpiece.
With 60 people out of the little towns 4,000 residents being on the police or government payroll, someone knows something! A twisting plot, glimpses into very sick minds, themes of pedophilia, homosexuality, and Lucas himself, gives us a solid chiller thriller.
