Lackluster mystery, and a completely muddled and dumb romance plot line, totally out of character for Lucas. I'd give it a meh and hope the next one is better. (  ) sonyau | Jul 14, 2009 |  Supermodel Alie'e Maison is killed during a sex and drug party where Del is in attendance. (  ) ktoonen | Jun 14, 2009 | One of a long series of detective who-dunits. Not that well written. ( ) Gary10 | Dec 10, 2008 | This is the eleventh PREY book featuring Lucas Davenport, a detective in Minnesota, who loves women, games, and winning at all costs. In this book a beautiful if brainless model is found dead at a ritzy party, and the list of suspects seems endless. Then the bodies start piling up, and Davenport has to figure out whether he has more than one killer operating on his turf. All the PREY novels are somewhat formulaic, but this one displays greater depth than most. Davenport is still footloose and unattached in this book, though he's inching closer to the idea of settling down. The usual cast of supporting characters is on display, but in this book they have a more distinctive voice than in the later PREY novels. The mystery is intriguing, the action fast-paced, and the characters distinctive enough to add needed human interest to the mix. This book can be read as a stand-alone, and should serve as a good introduction to the series. Highly recommended. ( ) RachelfromSarasota | Aug 3, 2008 | Lucus Davenport has another murder case with a high profile murder. A famous model is strangled in a back room where a party with many 'elite' are enjoying themselves. while the cops are collecting evidence a second body is found stuffed in a closet. To top it all off, one of Davenports men was at the party undercover and the finger was pointed at him. As the investigation went on, more and more odd charactors showed up as suspects and more bodies mounted(eliminating some of the suspects). There was a neat little twist that showed perspective can be everything, you should always stop and turn around to take a look behind to see where you've been.

Amazon.com (ISBN 0425178765, Mass Market Paperback)Penzler Pick, June 2000: Easy Prey is the 11th mystery to feature Lucas Davenport, who began his career back in Rules of Prey as a maverick homicide detective reminiscent of "Dirty Harry" Callahan. He did things his way and was often at odds with his superiors in the Minneapolis Police Department. Since those early days, Davenport has mellowed a little, and his background as a computer game-designing, Porsche-driving womanizer has been somewhat reduced. Possibly age has become a factor, or it may be the fact that Davenport has been deputy chief since the sixth book in the series, Night Prey. The character may have changed, but the writing has remained consistently taut: the bad guys creepy, the mysteries suspenseful.In this newest episode, Davenport is called to a house after an A-list party has taken place there. Alie'e Maison, a top model, has been found strangled, and evidence shows that she ingested drugs and recently made love--most probably to a woman. Before Lucas leaves the house, things get even more complicated: a second body is found stuffed in a closet with a deep dent in the skull. In addition, one of Lucas's own men had been at the party and is now a suspect. As always, Lucas's own life is not exempt from complications. An ex-lover comes back into his world--a woman he has never been able to forget--and she has secrets of her own. Also making an appearance this time out is a childhood friend to whom he turns for advice about women and life. Sister Mary Joseph, born Elle Kruger, is a professor of psychology and one of the computer brains who helps Lucas design his software. He calls her Nun the Wiser, and he often turns to her for spiritual as well as more concrete advice. Lucas is going to need all the help he can get to unravel his case as secrets pile upon secrets and the ground constantly shifts under his feet. Easy Prey is another powerful link in this chain of muscular, exciting thrillers by one of the most distinguished practitioners in the field. --Otto Penzler (haettu Amazonista Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:18 -0400) Ensimmäinen testikierros on päättynyt.
