Easy Prey
(OverDrive MP3 Audiobook, OverDrive Listen)
John Sandford's Prey series continues to defy genre. Full of unflinching, relentless suspense, his novels also offer strong, well-drawn characters who grow deeper and more complex with each book. The eleventh book in his best-selling series, Easy Prey, finds Chief Lucas Davenport on the trail of two separate murderers, tied together by one victim. Lucas has dealt with his share of high profile crimes, but none have prepared him for the media storm surrounding his latest case. Two young women have been found dead after a party at a socialite's house. One of the victims is Alie'e Mason, a model on the fast-track to superstardom. While Lucas hunts for their killer, someone else begins assassinating the people closest to Alie'e. As Lucas attempts to protect her girlfriend, he finds himself drawn personally into the investigation. Richard Ferrone's reading combined with a multi-layered plot that could come straight from today's headlines is a nonstop tour de force.

May 1, 2000
The 12th entry in Sandford's ever-entertaining Prey series (Certain Prey, etc.) finds Minneapolis Deputy Police Chief Lucas Davenport again rambling through a murky case with his unique combination of gutsy intelligence and aw-shucks attitude. Fashion model Alie'e Maison has been found dead in a back bedroom, seemingly strangled at a chic party. Then--typical of Davenport's luck--the body of a second woman tumbles out of a closet just as the investigating cops get ready to leave the scene. There's no shortage of suspects who could have killed Alie'e: her boyfriend, for instance, recently dropped in favor of a lesbian lover, or her brother, a backwoods holy man who disapproved of his sister's lifestyle. There are Alie'e's parents, who could be trying to cover up a history of sexual abuse; the local drug dealer who supplied Alie'e with heroin; and the oily banker who appears to be the money behind the drug dealer. As many of these suspects get murdered, one by one, including those connected to the second victim in the closet, it's clear that the killer remains at large. That makes Davenport and his colleagues look foolish in the eyes of the media horde descending on the case. To make matters worse, Davenport's having women trouble again, torn among three beauties who want to bed him. As always, it's a joy to follow this rare cop who gets led more often by his gut instinct than by clues. His humor, understated and perverse, can be wildly funny, and the people he runs across are shrewdly conceived originals, cut from fabric way at the back of the bin. BOMC main selection; simultaneous Putnam Berkley Audio; author tour.

- content: Eric Conger enlivens sparkling characters and taut suspense as he portrays Sandford's favorite character, Detective Lucas Davenport. Conger's straightforward, brusque delivery contrasts sharply with the ominous, premeditated actions of the cold-blooded murderer. Conger's unique voice readily switches accents and genders with just-right timing. Despite the complex plot, he keeps listeners from getting lost and draws them in for a compelling listen. Note: Strong profanity and explicit sexual scenes. G.D.W. (c) AudioFile 2000, Portland, Maine

- content: Sandford and Ferrone have deservedly been called a great team (AudioFile, Feb-97), and EASY PREY, with its perceptive writing and well-paced celebrity murder plot, is one of their best. Author and narrator are both virtuosi of mid-American speech. They give police character Lucas Davenport a laid-back, sophisticated, tough-guy persona that makes the reader forget how uncanny are his skills, his luck, and his magnetism for extraordinary women. Also, this reviewer likes Lucas as portrayed by Ferrone and doesn't want to question his cavalier attitude toward constraints on police conduct. The book's realism and some of its hero's actions may not bear close scrutiny, but who cares? It's a fine listen. K.C. (c) AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine

The throaty voice of veteran audiobook reader Conger lends Sanford's latest Lucas Davenport thriller a sense of immediacy. Minneapolis detective Davenport is called to a wealthy socialite's house, where the bodies of a supermodel and another woman have been found in a bedroom after a party. Shortly afterwards, relatives and associates of the model, who came from a humble Minnesota town, begin experiencing grisly deaths. With suspects that range from the model's ultrareligious brother to a suspected drug runner, the story takes several unsuspected twists before its resolution. Conger handles the text perfectly, sounding as if he has a coffee cup in one hand and a cigarette in the other while rendering the staccato and often obscene language of Sanford's rough-hewn characters. The recording also inserts background sound effects in interesting, albeit seemingly random, situations to enhance its presentation. A subplot involving Davenport's romantic interludes is tiresome and extraneous, but Conger's excellent rendition of the investigation's many turns will keep listeners engaged to the end. Based on the Putnam hardcover (Forecasts, Mar. 20).
