Helpful Score: 3
This book is a brillant Lucas Davenport thriller. Lucas Davenport's wife, Weather, is in the middle of a very suspenseful plot. Virgil Flowers, a recent character of other John Sandford books, is involved in protecting Weather. Storm Prey is one of the best in the Prey series. Every chapter is filled with suspense and it is hard to put down. John Sandford is at the top of his game with this book.
Helpful Score: 2
WOW...a great read. This book is about Weather and the hospital. Drugs and a crazed doctor. The story will take you on a ride that you don't want to stop. Another great story from John Sandford. Lucas Davenport and his cronies would make a great tv show!
I thought this was one of Sandford's Davenport books that was better than the other Davenport books. It had a good plot.
read this book for the second time. Still very good second time around

Another book this author knocks out of the park, he keeps you enthralled and reels you in as the plot thickens and draws one to a final showdown.
It was OK. If it's representative of the other books in the Prey series, I will not be in any hurry to read them.
Another interesting addition to the Davenport series. A hospital pharmacy is robbed. While the robbers are fleeing a doctor arriving as part of a team to perform delicate surgery catches a glance of one of them. The robbers hire a killer to eliminate the doctor who happens to be Davenport's wife. The book nicely weaves in the story of the operation to separate co-joined twins with the efforts of the robbers to eliminate Weather and Lucas and his teams efforts to find them.
Lucas teams up with Virgil and Marcy to solve a crime that Lucas' wife, Weather, is a witness in. Weather is a target of the bad guys. Good doctors, bad doctors, dope and money; some not too experienced bad guys and one sociopath make for a great read with lots of ins and outs and sub-plots. Sanford does it again. A definite must read for Lucas Davenport fans.
This is a typical John Sandford Lucas Davenport book, not the best but not the worst either. Lucas Davenport fans will enjoy it.
Another winner in Sandford's Prey Series. Here his wife is in danger after seeing the killers leaving the scene.
A well construcet plot with lots of twists and turns. You will just have to keep reading this one. Just who is the inside man on this job?

Loved it. Always can't wait to get my hands on the newest version.
Excellent read !!!!
It wasn't his best but it was really good.
Another in the excellent Lucas Davenport series. Fast-paced and derring-do by the hero.
I'll give this a weak 'okay'--the 'prey' series might be coming to an end and get on with Virgil Flowers series. It will get you through a rainy day but it isn't exciting or suspensful and after a while the 'Mack' brothers are kind of boring and irritating.
Another great story of Lucas from Sandford. Couldn't put it down until the end.
Excellent book. Two stories involved: Weather's case at the hospital and a murder that her husband, Lucas, is trying to solve before his wife becomes a casualty. Hard to put down. Well written. Perhaps the best of Sandford's Prey series. Recommended.
I could not stand this book. The text is poorly written with many fragmented sentences. I was stunned to hear the author has written many of the "prey" books. I hope they are better than this one.
The 20th in the PREY series but it doesn't really matter if you're reading them. I'm still reading them in order because over the last (mumble) years, I've managed to collect all of them; I decided I would read them in order and by golly I'm gonna do it. It's not like they take a lot of time to finish. This one is pretty much the same as the rest. Sandford has a very good formula that will keep you reading even though you know exactly how the book will unfold. Best part about this one is the sub-plot dealing with the operation to separate co-joined twins. I was looking at an ancient spreadsheet I used to keep on books I'd read and I notice about 15 years ago I had a terrible case of the flu and I went through 10 of these in a week, and was happy to have them.
If you like Lucas Davenport, you'll like this book. I always count on Lucas to be the smartest guy in the room and in Storm Prey he didn't disappoint.
Good book, easy reading. Keeps your attention!
Great read!
