The "maddog" murderer who is terrorizing the Twin Cities is two things: insane and extremely intelligent. He kills for the pleasure of it and thoroughly enjoys placing elaborate obstacles to keep police befuddled. Each clever move he makes is another point of pride. But when the brilliant Lieutenant Lucas Davenport, a dedicated cop and a serial killer's worst nightmare, is brought in to take up the investigation, the maddog suddenly has an adversary worthy of his genius.

Now a recent Stanford grad with a master’s in economics, she’s restless and bored in a desk job for U.S. Senator Colles.

Borderline Pornographic
I don't mean this book is full of explicit sex (although there is some). I mean that if 'Shadow Prey' were subjected to a TV/Film/Video Game rating system, it would be 'X-rated'. I'm just fine with viscerally-affecting "gut-punch" descriptions & subject matter (in fact, I quite enjoy True-Crime books that include jawdropping psychopathology and Crime-Thrillers with graphic autopsy findings), but John Sandford crosses the line between "uncomfortable" and "disturbing".
Every character in this book (including Detective Lucas Davenport - his 'Dirty Harry' archetype protagonist) is unethical, duplicitous, mean, and violent. Additionally, as in the first book in the series, readers are taken on the villain's journey into homicidal depravity - but his victims are as unlikable/evil as he is in this one. I found myself not caring about anyone in this book.. to the point that there's a startling lack of tension.
Admittedly, the book is well-written, the dialogue is quite believable, the plot is engrossing, and the pacing is gripping - but regardless, the graphic aspects of the book are unrelenting. Sandford doesn't let up on his dark-dark-dark theme at any point.
Richard Ferrone contributes to the sensation of an overdone atmosphere with a reading that's remarkably faithful to what he's given (an emotive performance - including some palpably angry voice-acting - creates a tone that matches Sandford's text perfectly). This is one of those odd occasions where excellent reading actually makes a poor script *worse*. He draws attention to it.
The biggest drawback to Ferrone's narration is awful timing (his reading is best consumed at 1.20X) - it's otherwise great.
For me, the excessively graphic descriptions and action took me out of the illusion.. and I'm not convinced Sandford can get out of the darker corners of his imaginative mind (I won't be reading any more 'Prey' novels).
Still, you aren't crazy to spend a Credit on this well-performed 6.5/10 star audiobook - in the end, it provides a distracting, thought-provoking, action-packed procedural about a frightening Native American Revenge Killer/Zealot.

Can’t write Indians
Was a fan of the first book but listening to this one as an Indian myself pissed me off. Even murderers as suspects get questioned at home before cops can take them in but Lucas Davenport would go to “Friends” places and pull hair to question people in their own homes and punch old women for answers, frame a native kid with crack to get info from his father in jail? Never asked why they were doing what they were doing. So bad. Very disgusted.

Slow burn? Social Commentary? Good, but not great.
A steady pace and an intriguing plot. The word "Indian" is used throughout the novel to reflect the time period in which the story takes place. While it is not appropriate today and the terminology is understandably offensive to the Indigenous community, it accurately depicts the public and government attitudes during the story's timeline.
Shadow Prey conveys the plight of the Indigenous community, their mistreatment at the hands of the government, and the public's blind eye. The actions of the "hunters" on both sides of the law are dubious, ambiguous, and a textbook case of ends justifying means.
The reader/listener is confronted with a moral dilemma and would be wise to maintain their objectivity as the story progresses.

Story
The story is ok. But the narrator is really not good at all. A different narrator might had some excitement to the story. Not getting the 3 rd one because of the narration

dull
the writer can't write women. the main character is a cocky man child who isn't much better then the killers he is trying to catch. it has its moments and the story line had potential but falls flat with the bad characters.

Top 3 out of his 23 Davenport Novels
All the Davenport Novels are worth a read, this particular book is great because it revolves around a younger, crazier, slutty, always manipulative Lucas, a group of fugitives that are both interesting & dangerous, & many of Davenports close friends in the future are cementing they're loyalties from these earlier novels. For some reason I read so many of the other Prey novels before I came back & read this one which is technically the 2nd in the series... It was worth it almost to the point I wish I read it earlier. But all his books are great & the development of Lucas & his family all take place throughout the series but this book is still in the stages before he had to worry about another woman, kids, politics, & future responsibilities I ended up reading at almost the same time because I was reading Silken Prey shorty after....
Highly recommend this book... LUCAS is establishing why he is such a bada$* & has the reputation he does....

Sandford and Ferrone - Match Made in Heaven
Is it possible to fall in love with an author/narrator/protagonist combo? Yes, indeed. Sandford, Ferrone and that sometimes naughty Davenport rock the story.
John Sandford used incredibly good judgment choosing Richard Ferrone. Long live authors who "listen" to their own books being read!

Lucas Davenport = Great
If you could sum up Shadow Prey in three words, what would they be?
Davenport, suspenseful, exciting
Who was your favorite character and why?
While I guess Davenport but another character, it would be Lily. I enjoy the whole cast of characters in the Prey novels though.
Any additional comments?
I have read most of the Prey series and love it. Am going back and listening to them in order. This is his second book. The narration is excellent. Does not disappoint. I highly recommend this series.

Lucass Davenport the ruderless rogue!
I'm not a huge fan of the early novel in the "Prey" series. Once Davenport meets and marries Weather, they have Sam, and Lettie enters the picture the novels get much better. I suspect my issues with the first 13 novels in the series, and especially with the first 6, is that Davenport seems rudderless and without a strong moral center of gravity. Davenport in Shadow Prey definitely fits that description. I like Lucas Davenport the family man more than Lucas Davenport the rogue, This book was released in 1990 and the series remains active with Book 25 being recently released.

Not impressed.
Any additional comments?
Although not exclusively, I do read a lot of crime novels and I am perplexed by the good ratings this one received. There are a lot of good crime fiction authors out there but this is not one. I do make allowances for a novel considering the fact that it is entertainment and does not need to be completely realistic. But this Novel was just bad. The characters are improbable and inconsistent. The dialog is unrealistic and cheesy. The actions of the characters are erratic. The overall idea of the story is good; the rest is just not good. I can imagine that if you are a male seeking a fantasy fulfilling story of a rich tough guy that can have his cake and eat it too and do not care much about the literature value, this is a story for you.

Richard Ferrone is Perfect!
Lucas Davenport and his friends continue to develop well. We see glimpses of the future relationships in this early novel. What I liked best was how perfectly Ferrone and Sandford sync. It is as though Sandford wrote his books with Ferrone in mind. He builds the suspense perfectly and allows the darkness of the mystery to settle upon the listener.

Narrator, not actor.
Would've preferred the narrator acted a bit more instead of just reading it. I think I would've been more engaged in the story had the narrator actually put some life into the characters other than that it's a solid thriller.

mildly entertaining but hokey
I have loved John Sandford but this one was pretty lame. Predictable romance that was very melodramatic and a convoluted story that I really didn't find compelling.

Oldie but Goodie
If you could sum up Shadow Prey in three words, what would they be?
Exciting, sarcastic, fun
What was one of the most memorable moments of Shadow Prey?
When Lucas first meets Shadow in the apartment
What does Richard Ferrone bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Richard Ferrone has become Lucas Davenport. His voice brings the right amount of edge, sarcasm and humor. He is a great narrator.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes if only I could.
Any additional comments?
So happy that the old Prey novels have been released in this fashion with Richard Ferrone reading them. Hats off to John Sandford, great author.
