 - Good solid audiobookI just got through this in the auiobook version that I have enjoyed during my commute to work. Like I said, it was enjoyable, and certainly entertaining. The reader of the audiobook did a decent job, except when he delivered the women parts. He made their voices sound "raspy" and "harpy-like", which kind of killed some of suspension of disbelief, especially when he was portraying a beautiful young woman. Anyhow, the story is enjoyable, but the ending was pretty disturbing. I think the problem for me was pretty much all of the villains were sympathetic characters whom we were made to identify with pretty strongly, so that is a tough tightrope to walk on. Rating: - Great as usual - An entertaining page turnerI have read all of Mr. Sandford's books in the Prey Series. The schizophrenic twist is a great touch! Rating:  - Sandford does it againIs there a better crime fiction novelist out there than Sandford? This was another home run (not a grand slam; I need more Kidd novels) in the Lucas Davenport oeuvre. His dialogue, as always, is excellent, and he paints the scene like Elmore Leonard. Keep them coming. I wish he would put out two books a year. I can't wait until the next installment. Rating: - Flo's ProsI just finished this on 7-20 and I really enjoyed it. I especially like the fact that he uses good English and every once in a while slips in a bit of humor such "the kevlar helmets sitting on the table looking like lost turtles". A few pages later he lists all the men, vehicles and equipment going to the site ending with "and a partridge in a pear tree." Rating:  - awful storylineHaving read all of this series, I can honestly say this was by far the worst. Oh, it is readable as Sandford's prose flows, but the storyline, particularly the lame outcome, leaves you with the feeling (actually about half way through!!) the author was just going through the motions to get it over with to fufill the one-a- year contract. Plot line is adequately presented in the reviews of others so I won't comment. If you havent read earlier books in the series, save your money from this one and get one of the others.
