Rather like a club sandwich

The beginning was so gruesome I nearly gave up but once that passed it moved into a fairly serviceable police-detection story.
I do have a but or a few because when a story moves into being great or even a classic is when all things make sense in the created world and unfortunately this cardinal rule is completely cast to one side.
As someone once heavily involved with games and gaming I can tell you it is not something you would be able to dabble in like a match box collection hobby. The intense work and numerous people involved would not be possible to be a full time murder detective as well.

I could ramble on through glitches but I shall spare you that.but suffice to say the editing of at least fifteen chapters wouldn't have gone amiss. No complaint at all about the reader.

As I said somewhat like a club sandwich with good bits and bits best put on the side of the plate.

Quality of plot

The story just flows. Seen from the perspective of the hunter and the hunted. My first read of this author but certainly not the last !

A good mixture of fiction and reality

Would you listen to Rules of Prey again? Why?

Maybe. There were some details about the police work on the street worth listening again. There's also some interesting twist of the events.

What did you like best about this story?

The lead character Lucas couldn't be real, but the author did a good job mixing him into the realistic background. So even though it is a fiction, it didn't feel fake. The story gave us a lovely character that we could like but not sound like a prince from fairytale.

What about Richard Ferrone’s performance did you like?

It wasn't bad but there's some curious sudden stop and inhale between sentences. Not a big deal but occasionally got me out of story as I would think it's intentional yet it turned out not.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

After police screwed up the ambush in the journalist's home, Lucas was low and depressed. He beat himself up for the lost and gave up. But another detective came in, asked Lucas to follow a lead with him. That lead turned out well. But it's a bonus and a push for the plot. I like it because everyone has his own moment of downtime, it might only take one friend care enough to ask to get one back on track. The person might not even close to us but they come when needed. I wish I would be more grateful to my friends for they care.

Any additional comments?

If you watch TV episodes like Criminal Minds, the plot would be standard serial killer story even the motive behind it. I am not an expert in the field so can't say how real it was. But it does reduce the feeling of novelty.

Disappointment

Is there anything you would change about this book?

Modify the swearing its not needed

Would you recommend Rules of Prey to your friends? Why or why not?

No although the story was okay but the consistant bad language was offputting

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

The narration was okay

Could you see Rules of Prey being made into a movie or a TV series? Who would the stars be?

No I could not

Any additional comments?

I downloaded two books by this author but will not be down loading any more.

Nope.

The amount of sexual violence was completely off-putting. Life is too short to listen to torture porn.

Not for me.

I struggled to finish this I could not get into it at all. I can't give it too bad a review though as I maybe it just wasn't for me.
