    About this audiobook

    The "Prey" novels by Pulitzer prize-winning journalist John Sandford consistently make the best-seller lists, but they are not for the faint of heart. Featuring Minneapolis Lieutenant Lucas Davenport, these thrillers are raw, graphic, and impossible to put down. In Eyes of Prey, a depressed and unfocused Davenport takes on a macabre case, tracking down a serial killer who maims the eyes of his victims after he has murdered them.

      Lucas Davenport and a murdering doctor and his accomplice.

    • 4/5
      Didn't see the last suprise coming about the identity of loverboy!
    • 3/5
      These books go down like cool water on parched tongues. If you're looking for something that moves along quickly and is mildly gruesome, the Prey series is your answer. I do agree that the villain couldn't possibly function on all those drugs, but hey, I'm just along for the Lucas Davenport ride.
    • 3/5
      I chose this abridged copy of an early Sanford work to decide whether I want to begin reading the books from the beginning.

      It was good, disturbing but not nightmare-inducing. There seemd to be some jumps in logic, but that was most likely a result of the abridgement process.

      Other than that, the book was perfectly fine as is (the short version). I may have missed something by not reading the full-length novel, but I can't tell what it might be.

      eta: The ending surprised me. That's rare and welcome.
    • 4/5
      Pretty good. Took some twists I didn't expect.
    • 4/5
      This is the 3rd book for Lucas Davenport, a Minneapolis Police Detective, as he tracks down a pair of murders posing as one. The telltale sign that links them all together are the slashed eyes in all the bodies as they are adding up. Basically 2 sociopaths meet up and try strangers on a train scenario and of course it has a hitch which needs to be cleaned up, which causes another hitch. John Sandford writes action packed novels that more often than not keep you at the edge of your seat from the first chapter to the last. Good book, worth the read.
    • 2/5
      A few of my friends love John Sanford's books, but this was hard for me to get though. Maybe next time.
    • 3/5
      I liked it better than I thought I would. I'm trying to find a series with a kick-butt protagonist and heard that Davenport would fit the bill. He did in this book (not so much in the earlier ones where he was a playboy, not a thug). Anyway, the story itself is a bit too weird. The main bad guy is a drug-abusing addict; serious drugs, in high doses, and yet he was still a functioning doctor? Not likely. If he was really as high as the descriptions said, there's no way he'd still be wandering around, let alone poking people's eyes out.And his accomplice? Well, there's no real reason why he's helping, other than being a sociopath (but don't they work alone?) I don't think some flying-high freak could talk anyone, sociopath or not, into committing random murders.
    • 5/5
      I started reading the Prey series (in order) this summer. This book, at #3 on the list, blows #1 and #2 out of the water. Better plot, more suspense, just better all around. Hopefully the series continues to get better as time goes on.
    • 4/5
      It's been a while since I read Shadow Prey so I'm sure a lot has slipped my mind, or maybe senility is setting in. I found myself dragging along trying to remember what had happened to Lucas Davenport before, which was quite distracting from this installment. It wasn't until halfway through that I got into the story enough to quite worrying about what did or didn't happen in the past. While I thought the way Sandford handled the pharmaceuticals in the story (I didn’t once check the PDR, tempted to but didn't) was quite good, there is just no way in hell even the Hulk could have taken that may different combos of drugs and lived that long, and the story takes place in the span of a week. My curiosity is piqued now and I'm looking forward to see what's happening next and won't wait so long next time around.
    • 2/5
      Wasn’t bad for a first time writer. Maybe he’ll grow and find his mark. Till then.... To the reader, if you’re sensitive to people of color being in the back of the bus you may want to consider a different book.
