The book itself was well written, the mystery had its twists. I enjoy Sandfords series. However even though the psychology of it makes sense for the dog to get murdered, I still am so tired of it being a means to explain just how evil people are. Or how crazed they are for that matter. The dog dying trope is old and over used in so many stories now a days. I'm still continuing on with the series it's just my own personal irritation.

This honestly felt like the most "laid-back" of the Prey books so far. Maybe it's because we're starting to see a change in Lucas' character development. Maybe it was because of a killer that, while awful, isn't as "constantly" brutal as the previous ones (in that they have spread out their crimes over time). I felt more invested in the side characters than usual, though I am anxious to get to a point where the author will hopefully experiment a little bit and mix up the formula some.

I'd taken a break from the Lucas Davenport series after WINTER PREY, because I was feeling a little burned out by the character. I decided to give the series another try, and, as it turns out, NIGHT PREY is one of the strongest in the series so far.
As usual, Davenport is called on to catch a killer, but this killer is much better developed than several previous ones in the series, and Sandford's attempts to let readers see things through his eyes were more successful than in earlier entries.
Even more welcome is the character growth in Davenport, who actually is starting to become a complicated and intriguing character, and not just a cardboard cutout.
Highly recommended, but not for the squeamish.

In this installment of the Davenport series, Lucas is on the job as a Deputy Chief trying to help the political ambitions of a Chief who wants to run for Senate. It is another great story and as life allowed I read it quickly. I think I will read book seven now, because if I don't it may be another year before I get to it, and I think Davenport is awesome.

Another great entry. Brutal as usual. Sandford is a sick bastard for some of the stuff he comes up with, but damn he can write.

Seems a bit off to say, but I enjoyed that this book just concluded. It felt natural that after the hunt and the sleuthing, that the criminal was caught and was dealt with. No real fuss, no muss, just a resolution. This was crisp and clean story, and feels like the series is growing.

I've read this one before but could not remember how it ended. With this one, you know exactly who the bad guy is, but you have to wait as Lucas and friends work it out.
