I had read a later book in the series and thought I would like to see how the series got started. The plot of the book was swallowed up by character development and when I was finished I had had enough of Lucas Davenport.

First of a Great Series
This is the first book in the "Prey" series. It's a very good read - a crime book written by a Pulitzer Prize winner. I buy copies to give to friends who like to read.

Intoduction to a thrilling writer
This is John Sandfords first in the series and I finally read "Rules" after reading many other of the 'Prey' books. I think he is a great storyteller, wonderfully descriptive, with characters and background to enthrall and capture your imagination and attention, Sandford never fails to make my reading enjoyable and entertaining. He is a must for those who like fast, interesting and exciting action in their reading prose.
