About this listen

Lucas Davenport and Virgil Flowers join forces to track down a ruthless killer who will do whatever it takes to keep the past buried, in this latest thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author John Sandford.

Doris Grandfelt, an employee at an accounting firm, was brutally stabbed to death . . . but nobody knew exactly where the crime took place. Her body was found the next night, dumped among a dense thicket of trees along the edge of an urban park, eight miles east of St. Paul, Minnesota. Despite her twin sister Lara Grandfelt’s persistent calls to the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, the killer was never found.

Twenty years later, Lara has been diagnosed with breast cancer. Confronted with the possibility of her own death, she’s determined to find Doris’s killer once and for all. Finally taking matters into her own hands, she dumps the entire investigative file on every true-crime site in the world and offers a $5 million reward for information leading to the killer’s arrest. Dozens of true-crime bloggers show up looking for both new evidence and “clicks,” and Lucas Davenport and Virgil Flowers are called in to review anything that might be a new lead.

When one of the bloggers locates the murder weapon, Lucas and Virgil begin to uncover vital details about the killer’s identity. But what they don’t know is the killer lurks in plain sight, and with the true-crime bloggers blasting every clue online, the killer can keep one step ahead. As the nation maneuvers the detectives closer to the truth, Lucas and Virgil will find that digging up Doris’s harrowing past might just get them buried instead.

A good Davenport-Flowers story

I read what the others said about the narrator and felt sometimes he had the correct inflection for the character and the story. Early on, I thought I was listening to a high school student who didn’t get the nuances of the character and story at all. Yes, other readers had been much more memorable and would have made this typical Davenport-Flowers tale a lot better.

Story like was good

The ending was a real disappointment and so unlike Sandford the whole of the story was good but left you hanging at the end

I’m still waiting for the ending?

When the book stopped, i felt like it was in the middle of a conversation, I thought Audible must have skipped over the final chapter. Nope.

Up until this point I was involved and invested in the story. Will they get a conviction? I hope a future book resolves this.

Disappointing

Eleven hours long but the book ended without the story ending. I have read every book in the Prey series and never before have I been disappointed. Is there a sequel? If so, that’s a departure from the rubric where each book can be read as a standalone. Too bad because the story was fantastic.

No on the narration

The story is good. Just can’t into this new voice. Multiple books now but the new voice just can’t sell it. Disappointing.

John is getting tired

This just wasn't up to snuff from the abrupt and unresolved ending to the all too easy resolution of the story. It's a Davenport book, you'll enjoy it, but it's sadly a long way from the earlier works. . .

Let’s hear it for murder, justice with a post, and a fun ride.

I think we may see some characters back around again. As usual, great book. Loved every word. Can’t wait to see what happens next.

No Ending!

Can’t just leave it hanging without the conclusion. Are we supposed to guess about the trial verdict?

Unexpected ending

I'm not sure I've ever come across an ending like the one in this book. It leaves us waiting for a sequel!

poor narration ... not a good voice for Virgil

the voice for Virgil was not Virgil, this was crackly, weak. ok one for lucas, terrible women voices.

i was glad to see much less, but not absent, political references.

glad to see Lucas back in Minnesota.

overall pretty good.
