Book Reviews of Winter Prey
Book Review: Audio Edition...Edge Of Your Seat Thrills and Chills
Summary: 5 Stars
This review refers to the Unabridged Cassette Edition of "Winter Prey" by John Sandford, Narrated by Richard Ferrone
This was a great edge of your seat mystery/thriller and the tone very much reminded me of those good old film noirs with Humphrey Bogart. Of course this is a much more modern tale. There was delicious suspense, heart pumping action with wild chases on snowmobiles,shoot outs, good guys to root for, and a villain(who from the beginning and most of the book we only know as "The Ice Man"), as bad and evil as they come. Author Sandford kept me involved and guessing every step of the way, and throws in some great surprises. Narrator Ferrone had a great voice and feeling for this type of story.
It is a blistery cold winter in a small woodsy town in Wisconsin. Everyone knows everyone, and are shocked and frightened to learn of a brutally horrible murder. The cops are questioning and gathering evidence, and it all points to one man. But no one will believe the suspect is guilty. Enter an out-of-town Detective to help with the case. Lucas Davenport knows his stuff. He is fearless and rugged and a reputation for getting his man..one way or another. Time is crucial, the killings have just begun, and all seem to revolve around a photograph that is the only solid clue. A woman Doctor could be the next victim and as Lucas tries his best to protect her while closing in, we also see another side to this tough guy, and the two grow closer, adding a layer of romance to this multi-faceted story as well.
The story would probably be considered R rated. It deals with some very sensitive subject matter(I don't want to give away too much), has quite a bit of violence and language as well. So may not be everyone's cup of tea. The reading is superb. Ferrone does all the voices, even the women very well, giving each their own distinct personalities and gives this chilling story just the right touches.
This Unabridged edition has 9 two sided cassettes, each side running around 35-40 minutes, so you can really get lost in this story. I listened to it every chance I got. The sound quality was also very good.
I know there are other Lucas Davenport Mysteries, but this was my first, and now I am hooked and adding others to my cart.
Highly Recommended for those who love audio books or a great suspenseful tale....Enjoy....Laurie
