Work InformationChosen Prey by John Sandford
   Books Read in 2020 (3,959) No current Talk conversations about this book.   Gmomaj | Aug 21, 2023 |  A truly pleasant surprise. I stayed away from Prey books because of the stupid title. But this book, found at a book swap when I had run out of reading material, was a golden find. Minneapolis homicide detective LD is drawn into a well written serial murder case. Plenty of characters who were mostly defined enough that you knew who was how, a rapidly moving plot that made sense, and not too much dwelling on the imperfect hero. Unlike the Virgil Flowers novels the book was story driven and much less hanging on the quirks and desires of the detective. Sandford writes well and I found myself barking out in laughter at some of his one liners. A rare detective story that gets a 4.5. (  ) JBreedlove | Aug 2, 2023 | I don't remember reading this one when it first came out...but it was awesome! Great cop talk from Davenport et al, and a really juicy, creepy killer with issues. Loved it. (  ) kwskultety | Jul 4, 2023 | This was a deeper, more character-driven Prey book. It's in this book that fans are caught up on everybody in the series. Also, we can see that things will be taking a turn job-wise for a few and maybe a baby for Lucas and Winter. ( ) nab6215 | Jan 18, 2022 | This series is just chock-full of serial murderers.
