Summary: Great Sanford Suspense
Review: "Sudden Prey" is the latest addition John Sanford's "Prey" novels. This series is known for great stories, suspense, and characters. The lead character of "Sudden Prey" is once again Chief Lucas Davenport of the Minneapolis Police Department. In this story Lucas isonce again on the trail of some sadistic serial killers. Their leader is out to avenge the deaths of his sister and wife at the hands of the Minneapolis police. His plan is simple - to kill the loved ones of the police officers involved in the shooting. This is a great addition to the "Prey" series. Lucas is once again very believable in his quest to find the killers.

Summary: 8th in the Prey Series
Review: 'Sudden Prey' starts with a botched bank robbery, and ends with a plot for revenge. Because of the death of his family in a shoot-put with Lucas Davenport and his team of detectives, Dick LeChaise vows revenge on the cops involved, as well as their families. He even breaks out of prison to do it. As a stand-alone book, this might not be 5 stars, however, in the context of this series it is definitely deserves those 5 stars. If you would like to start reading the 'Prey' series, start with 'Rules of Prey.' Otherwise, this is just more of the same great Lucas Davenport and friends.

Summary: A good book by a great author.
Review: A good book by a great author. I have much respect for this author who can write what would easily become clich??, but provides enough variety that the series read in sequence creates a very good ongoing story. The event in this book wasn't quite as fun for me as others in the series, but the story still unfolds in the solid realistic tale that I have come to expect from Sandford. Even though I don't rate this book as high as his others, within the context of the whole series, Sandford's work holds my highest appreciation. What specifically brought down the 'fun factor' in this book was that it spent more time with the bad guys and less with Lucas and company. The Davenport angle is what makes the books for me.

Summary: Sandford is simply brilliant!!!
Review: After starting to read this book, I just couldn't put it down. There was always something interesting happening, and you get caught up in this Triller with no way to escape.
James Qatar has a thing for the neck of pretty blondes, and can't keep away from them. After a dead body has been found he no longer feels safe and becomes more and more careless. Even though he knows he cannot keep feeding his desire, it just gets too stong. Capable of anything, he finds himself another pretty blonde... Lucas Davenport is the brilliant Deputy Chief who, despite the difficulties he sees the future will bring, takes on the mission to stop the killings and find out who is the one behind it all.
Sandford is a brilliant writer and once you start reading it, there's no way out. His way of writing makes you feel that you're in the middle of it all, experiencing and seeing everything through the eyes of the writer.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves ficion!!

Summary: Amazingly bad!
Review: As a reader of several of the 'Prey' books, I found this one to be a waste of time. Imagine reading the 'Keystone Cops' capers...At the end I really didn't care who died. Devoid of character development and entertainment. Save your time and money.

Summary: Reads like a Hollywood blockbuster, call up Harrison Ford
Review: Drunk, suicidal, heavily armed rednecks terrorize cops and their families. The directors of Heat would have a great time with this one. Lots of action, clever pace of events. A little low on character development and emotion, more attention is given to action. Probably read it in a day or two.

Summary: A Typical Sandford "Prey" Book--Very Good
Review: Even though you basically know what the outcome of Sudden Prey will be shortly after you start it, Sandford--as usual-- keeps your eyes glued to the pages and your fingers anxious to turn them. Davenport, the cop, and Sandford, the writer, continue in form--top notch at what they do.

Summary: One of Sanford's Best
Review: Finally a "Prey" I can connect with and get my mind around. Sanford keeps you guessing right up to the end. Just when you think you have it solved, he throws this incredile curve ball at you. A well-rounded way of bringing past characters into this novel. It makes you want to go back and re-read other "Prey's" just so you can stay in the moment. Well done Mr. Sanford, looking forward to the next "Prey".
