Buried Prey

By: John Sandford

Narrated by: Richard Ferrone

Some secrets just can't stay buried, in the brilliant new Lucas Davenport thriller from the number-one New York Times- bestselling author.

"One of the best," said Kirkus Reviews of Storm Prey. "Razor-sharp dialogue, a tautly controlled pace and enough homicides for a miniseries. What more could fans want?"

A house demolition provides an unpleasant surprise for Minneapolis-the bodies of two girls, wrapped in plastic. It looks like they've been there a long time. Lucas Davenport knows exactly how long.

In 1985, Davenport was a young cop with a reputation for recklessness, and the girls' disappearance was a big deal. His bosses ultimately declared the case closed, but he never agreed with that. Now that he has a chance to investigate it all over again, one thing is becoming increasingly clear: It wasn't just the bodies that were buried. It was the truth.

Good murder mystery.

I found this a little slow to get into, but really enjoyed the middle and end of the book. Great balance of character development while keeping the story moving.

Another Great Read

Loved it! Always do love the books involving this detective and even though there are many books, each one is a stand alone story!

So Glad to Have Another "Prey"

I have only just begun to listen to this book, so I cannot give it five stars, but am really enjoying the backstory on Lucas' career.

Mr. Sandford, please keep writing! Your books are always interesting, educational, and make me laugh out loud sometimes. I will come back to change my rating to five stars when I am done.
