One of the best Davenport
Excellent is all I can say. The plot was as good as ever and Without giving anything away I was quite sure it was all over 3 quarters of the way through but I was wrong. Only slight niggle was Richard Ferones delivery which did get a bit samey but I would rather he read these than anyone else so I am not complaining.

Finally had it with Richard Ferrone
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes - Sandford gets better and better. Ingenious plots, excellent procedural content, brilliantly observed social commentary, an affectionate and cock-eyed evocation of Middle America - everything leavened, best of all, by a wry, dry humour. These books should be much better known than they are.
Who might you have cast as narrator instead of Richard Ferrone?
Almost anyone - Jeff Harding perhaps, who reads the John Connolly's books, or Dick Hill. Maybe William Roberts, who used to narrate Bill Bryson.
While I love Sandford, I have finally come to end of the road with Richard Ferrone as a narrator. His dialogue is particularly lazy. He has two stock voices: a masculine growl for Davenport, and a kind of high, querulous whine for everyone else, male or female, strong or weak, sympathetic or not - all are effectively indistinguishable if heard out of context. There is no effort at characterisation and he misses much of Sandford's deadpan humour. Everything is reduced to a monotonous trudge that nearly ruins a great thriller.

Excellent as always
As usual a brilliant piece of writing by john sandford and fluently read by Richard Ferrone. As always with these books I was really sad when it finished. Let's hope the next one is out soon.

Another excellent book from JS
A great Lucas Davenport story, hard to put down as usual. Looking forward to the next one.

Wearying misogyny
This is my third Lucas Davenport and already I'm tired of the relentless misogyny. Sandford seems to see women as stupidly "headstrong" background props or victims of sexual violence. The sexist comments make him look very last century. The rough and weary-sounding voice of the narrator makes me think it's time they both retired.
