*** Contains some spoilers!
Let me preface this by saying, I enjoy John Sandford novels. Some are better than others, but they are still fun reads. Chosen Prey was an extremely fun novel. It begins with an Art History Professor who has a lust for killing. Sprinkle it with some snail mailed bizarre art work. Add some new characters who you hope stay around for another book, but you know deep down that they are doomed to die. Finally get Lucas in his Porsche speeding to crime scene after crime scene. That is the recipe for a book you look forward to completing.

Usually I try to avoid books with serial killer plots but this series has always been the exception. For whatever reason I always enjoy reading about Lucas and his cohorts. This entry hints at some big changes both professionally and personally for Lucas which makes me eager to read the next book in the series. Listened to the audio which was read by Richard Ferrone.

Another gripping read from Sandford. The Prey Series has yet to disappoint! I really need to go back and read the ones I've missed in order since the characters and relationships continue to build from book to book.
In Chosen Prey, an art history professor's obsession with blonde women and porn leads Lucas Davenport and his crew on a hunt for a killer.

Summary: One of the things I really enjoy about John Sandford's writing is the callbacks to prior books in the series. Not only does he keep it moving forward with good character development, he re-introduces peripheral characters. When Randy make his return in this book, Sandford makes sure to tell you about Randy's shenanigans while he was away.
