Finely written, atmospheric, excruciatingly tense. – Evening Standard (London) Sandfordkeeps turning out better and better thrillers[He] builds a compelling counter-rhythm of suspense. The narrative is sensitively embued with Davenports humaneness as, in awe, he watches Connell courageously fight to postpone her impending death. – Publishers Weekly (starred review) Ferrones gravelly voice and calm tone add suspense to this shocking thriller[He] empathetically portrays the various male and female characters, finding unique voices, pacing, and volume for each. The dialogue sizzles, and the tense scenes lead to a spectacular climax. Dont listen alone. – AudioFile Yes, the plotting seems lifted from dozens of interchangeable slasher flicks, but the dialogue crackles and individual scenes can be almost unbearably suspenseful.

A little sunblock, a tall cool one, and a serial killerah, summertime. – Booklist Night Prey is a tight, fast-moving thriller with appealing good guys and a suitably evil villain.
