Title Should Be "Lethal Prey Part 1"

Revisado: 03-30-25

I've read all of John Sandford's books, including all the non-"Lethal" ones, and this is by far the weakest storyline. Plus it ends on a cliffhanger, setting up a Part 2, which probably won't be published until 2026. I'd wait till then, and buy both. Hopefully, Part 2 will be better.

Don't Bother@

Revisado: 12-05-24

The novel devotes 90% of it's time to a group of sociopaths who whine, bicker, and betray each other. I've read all of the Atticus Priest books when character development of Atticus and his surrounding cast was 90% of the novels. Reading this book was like being locked in a room for hours and days with people you can't stand to be around. Let's hope the next book is much better.

Absolutely HATED the ending!!!

Revisado: 07-02-23

In both Noyln and Fairlane my favorite characters suffer terrible fates. In Noyln, that character loses her soul, and in Fairlane, the lead character has to die due to a prophecy. Both suggest that one has no control over one's fate, and there is only one predestined future. As a result, I felt insulted and cheated. Why would anyone want to read books where the best and most noble characters face terrible, unredeemable fates? I will definitely not be reading any more books by Michael J. Sullivan.

Tight plot. Very likeable characters. Author did an absolutely excellent job of voice acting his own work.

Wait till the next book & listen to both back2back

Revisado: 10-04-22

Love the series, but not this one. Too depressing an ending. I'm sure everything will be happily resolved in the next book in the series, but I read books for escape and enjoyment, and got the opposite here. A book that ends like this one makes me angry that that the author treats loyal readers with such callous disregard.

One of my favorite series..... until this book

Revisado: 09-17-22

Right up front, I'm going to confess that I listened to all 32 hours and 42 minutes of this book, adding "Surely it's going to get better" to the long list of lies I've told myself. Not quite grounds for psychotherapy, but close, very close.

During these 32+ hours, all of the interaction between the "suspects" occurs in an endless series of chat rooms. By by the third or forth one of these, I can almost guarantee that you'll want to pull your hair out and strangle all the characters.

Looking back, if the fictional Strike world would have blown up in a nuclear holocaust 10 minutes into my listening and the other 32+ hours were nothing but static, the book would have been much more enjoyable.

An additional point: If you're a fan of the series, like me, you probably ended the previous book (#5) thinking "Surely Robin and Strike will confess their feelings for each other in the next one." To prepare you for disappointment, please re-read my first paragraph above.

You know, I think I'll share this book with someone I really don't like.

(But surely, the next book in the series will be better. Right?)

"Not a single sympathetic, likeable character"

Revisado: 12-19-21

The protagonist is a criminal, totally amoral, doesn't seem to regret killing his mother in a previous life (or any of his other crimes), whines continuously, and doesn't have an ounce of empathy or kindness in him. I got so disgusted with him, I stopped listening midway through the book.

Absolutely a wonderful series!

Revisado: 06-15-20

Political intrigue, young magicians, their powerful mentors, labyrinths, demons, multiverse monsters, a reawakening race of souless being, And as a counterpoint, the human experience of falling in love, heartbreak, teen angst, bullying, feelings of shame and isolation, bravery, ingenuity, and teamwork.

Love the voice actor, Ralph Lister, whose voice chacterizations are so amazing, you'd think there were an entire cast af actors.

Thank you Mr. Bierce. Can't wait for the next book in the series.

Robert Crais is the Goat of Detective Novelists!

They don't get any better than this. Relax, kick your shoes off, grab a beer or glass of wine, and lose yourself in his latest book.
