Rating:  Summary: "Prey" Gets Better Review: This third entry in Sandford's "Prey" series really establishes why the series has been so popular. In this thriller, Lucas Davenport (our favorite lustful detective) faces two killers of indescribable evil. Michael Bekker is a handsome, soulless pathologist who works with a deformed "troll," Carlos Druze, in kind of "Strangers on a Train" twist. Druze kills Bekker's wife, and Dekker decks Cruze's mean boss. But it doesn't stop there, oh no...more gruesome murders occur and Bekker turns out to be one of the most vile villains in this genre. The taking of the eyes of the victims to appease Bekker's warped conscience is chilling and quite disturbing. Davenport's usual supporting characters, including Chief Daniel, Sloan, and Lester, all return, and the plot twists move quicker and faster than in the other "Preys." The best in the series to this point.
Rating:  Summary: Action packed Review: There was never a dull moment in reading this book. The more I read the book the more I liked Davenport, not for his strenghts but for what made him human. I had been apprehensive about continuing the prey series, but after this book the Author leaves no decisions to the reader. Must read Rules of Prey, and Shawdow Prey before reading to give more insight into Davenport. Truly fantastic reading!!!!
Rating:  Summary: My Favorite of the Series Review: I had never read any of the Prey books before (I regret not starting at the beginning), until I saw the book on my father in-law's desk. I was visiting for 2 weeks, so I was confident I'd have time to finish it. HA! What a joke, I finished the book in a day, and promptly read the first two before I left. Eyes Of Prey is, in my opinion, the best of the Prey books. The first sentence of the book still rings in my head..."Drooze was a stone cold killer" From then one...HANG ON. Lucas D is the best and Bekker?? He's one SiCk dude.
Rating:  Summary: Continued stress and sleepless nights thanks to John Sandfor Review: Once again I found myself sitting up late to ,not read, but re-read a Sandford book. This series of books makes you get up and check that the doors are locked before you fall off to sleep. After reading this book I was thankful that I live in New Jersey and not out in Minn. where Lucas Davenport is! The author is able to flesh out the characters and make them seem real. Unlike many of todays story tellers ,where the hero is a superman that has no flaws and is not realy human, Sandford gives us a man who we know. I do not wish to give away any of the story line but suffice to say that this is a book that you will finish in one sitting. Sandford seems capable of keeping your attention and not letting it go till Lucas davenport has finished his work. I would recomend this book to anyone but you should read his earlier books so you can have a correct timeline.
Rating:  Summary: READ THE FIRST PAGE AND THEN HOLD ON!!!!!! Review: Scary as all get out. I almost know this book will scare your pants off. I have read several of Sandford's Prey books and this is one of the best. As usual, Lucus Davenport is the hard nosed cop. Murders start happening but they don't appear to be done by the same person even though they are alike. Lucus appears to have met his match in Dr. Bekker. There are many twist and turns before it ends. The last page is quite a surprise to me. If you live by yourself and are in an older house, where the floors squeek, I would not read this at night. A must read if you like scary stories.
Rating:  Summary: Dont Look NOW Review: This book scared the hell out of me. It is another win for Sandford. Eyes of Prey will hook from the first page. It was a complete joy to read becuase it was a surpise with each tunn of the page. I have read all the Prey books and if you haven't you are missing one of the best characters in Lucas Davenport. Sandford know how to create a character that make you want to read more about him.
Rating:  Summary: Very Good Murder Mystery Review: I have to praise the author, Mr. Sandford keeps these books very interesting. Lucas D. always a force on the force. This one has some of his personal stuff revealed. Ever the ladies man, Lucas comes through as the guy most men want to be like. Although the baggage along with that is revealed in this one. The Villan, Dr. Bekker, an abuser of all drugs(so it seems), is an almost worthy opponent. Lt. Lucas Davenport has a strong supporting cast. The story kept me going. The end seems to lead directly to the next book of the series. I look forward to the next book of the series.
Rating:  Summary: Not the series' best book, but... Review: ...still well worth getting. Bekker's not my favourite (if you could use such a word for such an evil character) villan in the Prey books. I love this series, Davenport's a great character and the fact that it's a series of books really draws you into the characters as the series unfolds. Don't get this if you haven't read the first two books, I think you really miss out by not getting the character development. (I read this one first and regret it now.)
Rating:  Summary: Yes for Eyes Review: This is an early "Prey" novel when Lucas Davenport was working as a detective with the Minneapolis Police Dep't. He is troubled by a failing relationship while attempting to solve the murder of a physician's wife. He suspects the doctor is involved despite an ironclad alibi, and clues from a possible witness who may have been with the victim prior to her brutal death which included the removal of her eyes. Sandford shows his ability to take the reader into the depths of madness and to surprise the reader with his deftness to tie together all the loose ends. It is such a pleasure to read a book that you are fully satisfied with and still be surprised at where the author takes you with the ending. This book is highly recommended, both for newer readers and for those who've read the earlier "Prey" novels years ago but may have forgotten how good they really are.
Rating:  Summary: Awesome read! Review: I,ve read the entire prey series and have enjoyed them all. I especially liked Eyes of Prey and thought Sanford came up with a real lunatic in Bekker!Certain Prey is also a must read! These are the books you absolutely won't be able to put down!
