Scotty62's Full Review: John Sandford - Rules of Prey
In John Sandford’s Rules of Prey, the first in his series of murder and suspense, the killer has a set of rules he feels he should follow.
The killer is known as the maddog in this book. He would leave a rule with each killing to help the police better understand his game. Rules such as: Never kill anyone you know. Never have a motive. Never follow a discernible pattern. Never carry a weapon after it has been used. Those are just a few of his rules and he made a challenge out of his rules. You learn each rule he has come up with as you read the book and as he kills time and time again.
He would choose his victims according to his rules. His third victim he chose for his never follow discernible pattern rule surprised him though. She fought back and in doing so, escaped his killing her. Was that a mistake on her part for fighting back or a mistake on the killer’s part for not sticking around and finishing the job? Does he eventually go back after her? If so, does she survive his next attack? The answers are waiting in the book.
John Sandford will introduce you to Lucas Davenport, the detective that you will find in all the Prey books. Lucas is under surveillance and he knows this. The surveillance is pulled and Detective Davenport is placed on the maddog case, something he didn’t want to do. Throughout the book, you follow the killer as he plays his game and Davenport is right there following him as well.
This book keeps you wanting to read more, a real page-turner. You learn more about the maddog killer and about Lucas Davenport, the detective that also designs computer games. If you like murder and suspense, John Sandford’s Rules of Prey is the book for you. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys John Sandford’s writings or who enjoys murder and suspense. Once you read this book, you will want to read the Prey books to follow.
