The clock is ticking and, as Winter is about to find out, the endgame is everything . . .
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Jefferson Winter is a retired FBI profiler who works as a consultant on murder cases. Prey has all the ingredients that have made James Carol’s thriller series one of our favourite crime reads: fast-moving plot, meticulous detail and white-knuckle suspense. The novel starts with one of the most jarring scenes we’ve read recently: Pulp Fiction gore meets The Maltese Falcon noir. Teamed up with buttoned-up New York police detective Carla Mendoza, Winter plays dangerous mind games with a manipulative and elusive murderess.
Customer Reviews
Good thriller
Much better than the second one. It gets your hooked in from the start. Looking forward to the next in the series.
First book I read by Carol - Instantly converted!
I (only) love Crime Thrillers genre, and on top of that, I am also very particular when it comes to investing my time and money on books that are worth it. Yet I have to admit the Jefferson Winter series has definitely shot up to the top of my 'favourites' list, and I can see it staying there for a long time. It's not too gory/disturbing that it causes nightmares or nausea, and it's anything BUT boring!
Just pick one, any book from the series, and you'll see what the hype's all about.
Prey
Great book, keeps you guessing. Jefferson Winter is an in depth, complex character and is written to keep the readers interest. I have thoroughly enjoyed the books of the series so far, and I can't wait for the next instalment.
