Phantom Prey by John Sandford (2008, Unabridged, Compact Disc)

I have always liked the John Sandford series with Lucas Davenport as the main character. I like the fact that the conversations seem more real than some other books. The characters have evolved yet you get to read about them so it is like visiting old friends. "Phantom Prey" takes on the Goth world and beyond. Some people are not going to appreciate certain aspects of this book and to mention them would be to give major plot points away. Suffice it to say that this book has some nice twists and a good dose of humor revolving around a stake-out. A minor subplot about the Republican Convention coming to town may date the book some day but gives it a very current feel now. I would highly recommend this book.

John Sandford series with Lucas Davenport has always been one of my favorite characters. I like the fact that the people are real down to earth & speak as normal people would. Its like visiting old friends, but even if you have never read one of his books. Good stand alone.
"Phantom Prey" takes on the Goth's and has so many twist you can not predict the out come. Worth a read.

Another great Prey book by a great author. Waiting for new Prey book in May.
If you like the Lucas Davenport books, read the cross overs with Virgil Flowers.

I love all the Prey Books. Lucas Davenport is a great character, and thru the years, I have come to feel like he is someone I know. John Sandford make Lucas live. I especially like the way Davenport is always compiling a list of the top rock songs, however, I think he finally completed it a few years ago. My husband and I drive A LOT, and he and I find our trips are more enjoyable listening to books on tapes. I highly recommend ANY of the Prey books.
