Buried Prey

John Sandford delivers another hit with Buried Prey! This is one of the best Prey books I have listened to in a while. As a devoted fan of the Prey series, I have a soft spot for the main character: Lucas Davenport.

In Buried Prey, John Sandford gives us a glimpse of the rookie Davenport on his first homicide case in 1985. It was interesting to see the parallels and growth of the character from a young detective earning his stripes to the modern-day Davenport, the confident, incorrigible, crime-fighting protagonist we’ve come to know and love. When the cold case he was initially assigned turns up on Davenport’s desk over 25 years later, as to be expected, he will not stop until the case is closed for good.

Richard Ferrone once again did a stellar job narrating this series. Although the narrator has changed a few times throughout the series, I have really enjoyed Ferrone’s interpretation of this beloved character. If you are looking for an audiobook to keep you amped up during the monotonous tasks of spring cleaning and gardening, there is nothing better than a plot-twisting, suspenseful Prey novel!
