Review # 1 was written on 2021-01-18 00:00:00 Chad Zukeran Lucas Lucas Lucas, you my friend are a very interesting character. I have come to love you in a special way. You might be a sociopath too but at least you're on the right side of the law. It's a pleasure going back to this world in between my other reads. Lucas and his team make me laugh over and over. I've spoken about their camaraderie in a few of my reviews but I have to say it again. I'm entertained by them. I know them all now. Now, the crazy one this time is James Qatar. He is crazy. He enjoys killing blondes by strangulating them with a rope. Crazy bastard. Unluckily for him, Lucas is on the case. The Grave Digger's days are numbered. In regards to Lucas's personal life, color me surprised, he doesn't sleep around and Weather is back on. Furthermore, she wants a baby with Lucas, and Lucas is not running for the hills. Chosen Prey was quite an interesting addition to this great series. On to the next one... Cliffhanger: No 4/5 Fangs MrsLeif's Two Fangs About It | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram

Review # 2 was written on 2019-01-10 00:00:00 Thabang Mafohla It is always fun to read a Prey Novel! For those mystery lovers who are yet to get acquainted with Lucas Davenport - the protagonist of the Prey series, he is a maverick investigator for the Minnesota Department of Public Safety. Davenport had made a lot of money by writing computer games and drives a Porsche. He is a contrast to the depressed, alcoholic cops we often come across in cop thrillers. This time Davenport is up against a sexual pervert-cum-serial killer, who unfortunately happens to be an art history professor. The identity of the perp had been revealed in the blurb itself. The story revolves around Davenport and his team's efforts to identify the killer. In addition to solving the case, Davenport also has to deal with an impending political storm which might make him jobless. Oh! He is also trying to father a child with his girlfriend Weather. I usually prefer whodunits but I enjoyed the thrill of following the investigation. Each time the cops got closer to discovering the killer's identity, they would receive a setback. Identifying the perp is simply not enough; cops also need solid evidence to make the charges stick. One thing I have noticed in John Sandford's book - the author usually does a good job of fleshing out the characters. I have to mention one thing - the story has references to the movie The Day of the Jackal, one of my favourite novels and a very cool movie; and to Miss Marple. I love it when books have references to other books, literary characters or movies. Anyway, it is a decent thriller. The ending was a bit predictable. Nevertheless a good novel to while away the time. I am giving the book a rating of 3.5!
