Summary
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.

Great narrator and good book. I'll definitely be checking out the rest of his books.

love the Davenport personality the narrator has me hooked...I could never hear Lucas with a different voice.

I didn’t think I was going to like this book and initially I didn’t. But it grew on me and eventually it grabbed me. I enjoyed this very very much.

Profile Avatar Brady K. Mar 2024

Fantastic book. It’s an addictive page turner with very interesting characters. I highly recommend reading it.

Profile Avatar Anita H. Feb 2024

good listen

Profile Avatar James R. Feb 2024

This was my first by Sanford and a good one at that. I will look for another. There are a few subplots but nothing confusing nor out of place. I listened at 1.5x without a problem.

Profile Avatar Pamela C. Feb 2024

It started out slow but once you finished the first couple of chapters it improves. Loved listening to the old book. I can’t wait to listen to the series. Narrator was pretty good & funny at times too.

Profile Avatar John Feb 2024

good book, looking forward to #2

Profile Avatar Trevor B. Feb 2024

Good story line and narration

Profile Avatar HelenMac Jan 2024

The narrator was great.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Dec 2023

Great storyline. Could've done without the excessive cussing.

Profile Avatar David E. Dec 2023

Great read

Profile Avatar Anonymous Dec 2023

just ok. nothing to write ho.e about

Profile Avatar Anonymous Oct 2023

Well crafted story. Excellent character development. Great narration.

Profile Avatar Marilyn S. Aug 2023

I liked the story but too much foul language! I’m hesitant to continue listening to this series because of filthy language.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Jul 2023

Not sure I like the protagonist. Is he the same in all the books? If so, this is my first and last. Narrator has many characters sounding the same - so the conversations run into each other and can be hard to follow.

Profile Avatar Chris H. Jun 2023

Well written and narrated

Profile Avatar Cheryl Keeney May 2023

Wonderful

Profile Avatar Brandy K. Apr 2023

Really good story, characters are portrayed well. Narrator has a very strong voice. Can't wait to listen to the next book.

Profile Avatar Patricia A V. Apr 2023

This was my first novel by this author. I really enjoyed the story with its many twists. The main character is smart and seems like someone I’d enjoy knowing. The female characters were also interesting and distinct from one another. A very good suspense novel. The narrator did a good job but the timbre of his voice took me a while to get used to. Pronunciation of the words was excellent and timing of the dialogue was very good. Overall, this was well worth listening to.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Sep 2022

I truly enjoyed this book and the character of Lucas Davenport .Characters are well rounded and believable. Not always predictable and therefore a great read. I look forward to exploring more of this author.

Profile Avatar William E. Aug 2022

I'm a huge John Sandford fan and an even bigger Richard Ferrone fan! That said, this book does not disappoint although I think some of his later efforts reflect his growth as an author, Rules of Prey being the first in the Prey Series. If this is a listener's first Sandford / Lucas Davenport experience, I urge him (or her) to pick up the next one at earliest convenience!

Profile Avatar Robert I. Aug 2022

A total classic.

Profile Avatar Stephen R. Aug 2022

Fantastic book! Superb story! Excellently narrated. Already have 2nd book in series in library.

Profile Avatar MARY L. GAY Aug 2022

The story was haunting from the very beginning, Unforgettable, icy, blood thriller, that introduced Lucas Davenport. Narration was excellent, made the hair stand up on my neck as he described the killer. The killer was was mad, but brilliant But Davenport was his match. Excellent!!!!

Profile Avatar Gary P. Jul 2022

Well written thriller. Narration was good but would have been better with Minneapolis/Minnesota accent.

Profile Avatar Ronald Johnson Jul 2022

Great listen kept me intrigued throughout the story. Good plot already playing next one

Profile Avatar Thomas H. Jul 2022

The first and one of the best of the Davenport books. Second time I’ve listened to it.

Profile Avatar Anna H. Jul 2022

Good book but poor quality recording- lots of skipping, like a scratched record.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Jun 2022

Fantastic. Gripping. Excellent pace. Narrator was icing on the cake

Profile Avatar Sam Denberg Jun 2022

A great story. if you like the average cop catches cereal killer novel, you will most likely enjoy Rules of Prey.

Profile Avatar Kim T. Jun 2022

Great book. Entertained us on a 14 hour drive.

Profile Avatar Robert B. Dec 2021

I always find John Sandford full of intrigue. Interesting listen with moral dilemma

Profile Avatar April V. Nov 2021

Slow to start but loved it and started the next one. Narrater was great!

Profile Avatar Franz K. May 2021

Very good story, well narrated

Profile Avatar Jacquie D. Mar 2021

Great story; great narration. Too bad the recording skipped many times throughout.

Profile Avatar Sherry L. Jan 2021

Really enjoyed this book. I downloaded the next in the series before I finished the first. The lead Lucas is a bit of a cad but you can’t help liking him. He doesn’t play by the book which I like. Great characters and storyline. Nicely narrated. The only thing I’d change in the narration is how slow the women talk, it makes them sound dumb when they are strong women.

Profile Avatar Stan W. Mar 2025

Amazing plot, love how he made Lucas a different kind of cop. I wish we would have had a little more back story on Lucas and the gaming end and how he started. I will be listening to the rest of the series for sure.

Profile Avatar Don H (SC) Jan 2025

I enjoyed the story that twisted turns relationships, and how smoothly it went along

Profile Avatar HMCTMS Oct 2024

Had me on the edge of my seat. Great book, I look forward to other books by this author

Profile Avatar Eric L. Oct 2024

Really enjoyed this.

Profile Avatar Ricardo Zarate Sep 2024

boring, without direction

Profile Avatar Philip H. Sep 2024

A good story that kept my interest throughout. Very creepy at first, which certainly spooked me as this wasn't my usual type of read. The narrator was excellent.

Profile Avatar Trish P. Jun 2024

Good story.

Profile Avatar Anonymous May 2024

A good listen

Profile Avatar Patricia V. Dec 2023

The book is amazingly predictive, cliche and sexist. Narration makes that last bit even worse.

Profile Avatar JK Mar 2022

Narration was good but I didn't enjoy the story so much. Simply too implausible. Not going to be reading another one in the series.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Nov 2021

far to much foul language
