I purchased this story on impulse as a Daily Deal but kept putting off listening. I'm so glad that I finally did listen to it. It made me smile, tear up, commiserate, reflect, and LOL several times. The story provides an opportunity to examine our individual and societal views on weight and reality shows. The performance is great with different male and female narrators.
Note--the setting is the UK, so some words and store/brand names may not be familiar to all. Warning--language, and some explicit sex and discussion of body parts. (but not too much. Just 2 married people enjoying the changes in their bodies as they lose weight.)

I enjoy both the Davenport Prey series and Virgil's stories, so I was excited to see them paired up again. However, Lethal Prey has left me feeling meh. I agree with the other reviews that the ending was abrupt and unresolved. What the heck? The characters themselves mention that they're getting older and losing interest in investigative work, and I feel that subdued mood and attitude throughout the story. The guys were never in any danger, never verbally or physically coerced anyone, and they were not directly involved in any action or violence--all departures from what readers have come to expect from the main characters. It was an interesting story, but overall disappointing.

This is another great story of DCI Logan and his team. Not as dark as the last few--good, I needed a break and so did they. But, the author, editor, or someone made a story error. SPOILER IF YOU READ SERIES OUT OF ORDER** In the last book, Dr Rickets is arrested. Yet, in this book, Logan wonders if maybe Rickets has left the office and been sent out to a scene. It really threw me when I heard it.

Inflections were off, to many pronunciation errors, pauses were all wrong, no actual emotions. I will not be listening to another virtual voice read book.

These stories are silly, but great fun and enjoyable. Lots of great social, TV, and political references/jokes. You will never think the same way again about insurance, manatees, or dolphins. This item is a great deal as you have both the novellas and the short stories--all the Tom Stranger in one place for one price. Excellent customer service!

My daughter and I enjoy listening to the Humphrey series. This book is full of thoughts on the signs of spring, frog life cycles, family trees, and more. All great topics for discussion and discovery with kids. We love love love Humphrey!

The Prey stories are always good entertainment. I love Lucas, and though I can take Letty if I suspend my rational brain (let's face it--do you know any 25 year old any near as calm, cold, together, etc., and with such a job?) I enjoyed the story and the characters. It's a good reminder/warning of what could happen.
***slight spoiler: for such a genius, the location did seem like a poor choice. And as things progressed, I would have gone to a WalMart or fast food restaurant immediately with my vials, rather than wait. And if you know that the situation is "hot" in New Mexico--why not drive out of state? But, thank goodness for the world, even genius mad scientists make mistakes and the Davenports are very lucky.

My daughter and I enjoy listening to the Humphrey books in the car. Good story lines, nice lessons about how to treat others, and you learn something from the class's lessons as well. Highly recommend

If you like Peter Grant stories, you'll probably like this. Interesting characters and bits of history. A fair amount of German dialogue, which almost affected my ability to follow some conversations. The story wasn't a great "mystery"--they mostly stumbled around--they didn't solve anything
