- My favorite in the series so far
Lucas Davenport experiences small town life through small town crime, and discovers that not all of his big city ways translate well in the snowed-in wilds of Wisconsin. It was nice to see him out of his element and in a setting that threw him for a loop. The descriptions of the winterscapes and the atmosphere of the town were very well written. I'd recommend this volume to anyone.

- The Best Prey So Far...
I'm a fan of the Prey series and unfortunately I have in the past read them here and there, but not in any order. I recently started at the beginning and wish I had started there from the start. Doing that enables the reader to better follow the character development of Davenport. Having read some of the later books, it is in Winter Prey that we are first introduced to Weather. Their relationship in later books makes more sense now.

Winter Prey gives us the villain of "The Iceman." The crimes, chases and evidence collection is made difficult by the voluminous amounts of snow and harsh temperatures. The temperatures are 30 below zero, thus making it physically dangerous to be exposed to the elements for any length of time. Lucas is free lancing in the small, rural area of Northern ... Read More

- Lucas is at it again
This book was a good addition to the series. It had me hooked from the start and my interest never waned. The unraveling of a series of what may be constructed as senseless murders is the premise of the story. How this story unravels is believable and logical, and the characters are true to life. I also like the love interest in the plot.

The book was also easy to read with short chapters and easy to interpret dialogue.

- Winter, Weather ,and the Iceman Cometh
Lucas finds himself at loose ends after being run out of the Minneapolis PD and is taking solace in the cold north woods of Wisconsin when he is called to assist the sheriff's department of Objibway county when a suspicious fire leads to murder and the discovery of a ring of perverts that had been operating in the county for some time. Facing off against a man who calls himself the Iceman, Lucas has to try to find out who is responsible before any more bodies pile up. And pile up they do in this fast-paced 5th book in the "Prey" series. We also are introduced to Weather Karkinnen, a surgeon who immediately steals Davenport's heart.

The Iceman is a pure sociopath - reading this book is often like a train wreck. You don't want to, but you are compelled to keep going as he continues ... Read More

- Lucas Davenport chases a killer in the frozen wilderness
Arguably the best entry among the first five books in this series (though I still have a soft spot for the extreme creepiness and dramatic revelations of "Eyes of Prey"), Mr. Sandford's "Winter Prey" is nevertheless a bracing, knock-out read and inarguably at least the second best among the first five books. Though series protagonist Lucas Davenport is here in all his glory, this one is less concerned with what is going on in Lucas' often troubled life and just wants to give us a moody, bang-up thriller plot. And there's also a slight change in this installment's flavor and tone, which makes for some welcome variety: instead of urban tension, here we get snowstorms, icy temperatures, snowmobiles, and coyotes. But don't worry, you still get one of those nicely written Lucas Davenport romantic sublots, ... Read More
