Average Sandford 
John Sandford is a quality writer who produces books that are solid if unspectacular reads. I have read all of his Lucas Davenport series and they have been generally excellent.
With Invisible Prey, I felt that the author mailed the book in, so to speak. It was readable and not boring, but it did not enhance the writers reputation at all. It was the kind of novel that you will read and once it is finished, you won't touch again.
Having a pair of characters called Widdler makes one think that the author is not writing a serious novel rather playing for laughs. The main character Lucas Davenport is a person who could be used so well, he has the killer in him and I wonder if the author is toying with the idea of making Davenport a darker character than he is.

Unbelievable Prey 
I have been a fan of Lucas Davenport for years and i have read each and every one of the novels in the series. I fell in love with Clara Rinkley and was going to quit out of sheer disappointment when Sandford killed her, but then more books came out and I just couldn't pass. Which turned out to be a good decision because Broken Prey was so deliciously good ("But there are no Beatles").
But now he comes up with this; a contrived and unbelievable plot. A couple who kill to cover up, and the more people they kill, the closer they move toward getting caught.
I could not stop feeling that the only reason they were killing was not to cover up, but so that there would be a plot for the novel.
Another disappointment.
Quitting the Prey series cold turkey after so many years is going to be difficult. What I am doing is reading other police novels. I recommend Joseph Wambaugh's police thrillers. The best one is, IMHO, "Delta Star" which by the way has a rare, perfect five-stars-only rating on Amazon.

Wow 
Too boring to finish. A first for me for one of the Prey books. Hope the next one is better.

Creepy couple
A demented married couple is going around the upper midwest in order to murder old people for their antiques. This twist on what constitutes the "usual" serial killer in mystery novels, made this book stand out, for more reasons than just the excellent writing.
Davenport has quickly become one of my favorite American fictional police officers.
