It is like turning the TV on to watch Inspector Morse and finding that he's played by an unknown actor. It ruins continuity, and the rhythm and pace of the entire book. Changing the reader of a series is unbelievably stupid. When you have such a rich collection of characters as this you obviously form ideas and images about them. The audiobooks are just as they should be - unabridged and most importantly, read by the same excellent reader. The descriptive writing is beautiful and thoughtful too, never jumping to simplistic assumptions about the forces that drive human beings. Intelligent friends and fellow cops add more humour and insight into the dark situations the barking mad criminals create. He is a dodgy, reckless, self made rich guy with some unpleasant traits but he sure is fun. Davenport is a complex character in the best of ways. The Prey series is a truly wonderful collection of books. ![]() Sandford's Prey series is superb except this one LUCAS is establishing why he is such a bada$* & has the reputation he does. But all his books are great & the development of Lucas & his family all take place throughout the series but this book is still in the stages before he had to worry about another woman, kids, politics, & future responsibilities I ended up reading at almost the same time because I was reading Silken Prey shorty after. It was worth it almost to the point I wish I read it earlier. For some reason I read so many of the other Prey novels before I came back & read this one which is technically the 2nd in the series. This is a series you must be reading if you are not already' 'Sandford has always been at the top of any list of great mystery writers.All the Davenport Novels are worth a read, this particular book is great because it revolves around a younger, crazier, slutty, always manipulative Lucas, a group of fugitives that are both interesting & dangerous, & many of Davenports close friends in the future are cementing they're loyalties from these earlier novels. The man has a fine touch for outlaws' Stephen King on Golden Prey 'Sandford's trademark blend of rough humor and deadly action keeps the pages turning until the smile-inducing wrap-up, which reveals the fates of a number of his quirky, memorable characters' Publishers Weekly on Golden Prey 'It appears there is no limit to John Sandford's ability to keep new breath and blood flowing into his Lucas Davenport series. ***READERS LOVE THE PREY SERIES*** 'John Sandford knows all there is to know about detonating the gut-level shocks of a good thriller' The New York Times Book Review 'The best Lucas Davenport story so far. Three killers as cunning as they are deranged. And to do that, he'll need the help of the Big Three: three vicious serial killers locked up in the state security hospital. To find the answers, he must track down his key suspect. All the evidence points to Pope - but Davenport has his doubts. Pope is of low mental intelligence, incapable of careful forethought and planning. The killings were calculated and methodical. Charlie Pope, a convicted sex offender, has cut himself free from his court-imposed ankle bracelet and disappeared. Both have been savagely beaten, the skin flayed from their bodies, their throats cut. **Don't miss John Sandford's brand-new thriller Ocean Prey - out now** A Lucas Davenport thriller by internationally bestselling novelist John Sandford The first corpse is found on the riverbank. ![]()
