About this audiobook

Bestselling author John Sandford takes all the action and suspense of his acclaimed Prey novels and heads west to the dark gleam of L.A.--where the Night Crew works. A mobile unit of video freelancers, they prowl the midnight streets to sell to the highest network bidder. Murders. Robberies. High-speed chases. For them, it is an exhilerating life.

But tonight, two deaths will change everything.

    This books doesn't feature any of the wellknown characters of the author, such as Lucas Davenport and Virgil Flowers. Too bad. I thought the plot was a bit erratic, rushed at the end, and the characters and places did not have the usual detail and familiarity to the author. I much prefer the Minnesota-based novels by the same author.

    I know that many people disliked this book because it's a departure from Sandford's Lucas Davenport series. For my money, while a solid read, they had become too formulaic. Night Crew takes place in Los Angeles instead of Minneapolis and follows Anna Batory, a freelance videographer who roams the city listening to police calls in hopes of beating regular news crews to a story so she can sell some video to the networks.

    Unlike the geography of Minneapolis which stands out in the Prey series, I just didn't get a sense of place in this book. Lots of running around, but I felt like I was hovering over a map instead of being in the place itself, something I think Sandford accomplishes better in the Davenport series. The relationships between the characters could have been fleshed out better. Jake Harper, ex-cop, who becomes Anna's lover?/boyfriend?something?, loses his son in the opening scene, but the impact on Jake (pun intended since he jumps from a window) seems slight.

    Many people who like the Prey series have not liked this one. I did, but with reservations. It has promise for a new series. We'll see.

    The Kidd series is enjoyable; I have tried any of the Virgil Flowers titles yet.

    A vicious stalker targets a freelance TV news reporter in this fast-paced, suspenseful thriller. As the body count rises, Sanford raises the stakes for Anna Batory - is the killer someone she knows? This is a page-turner, but if you're looking for true love ever after, look again.

    I have to say I was disappointed in this one. The premise of what the Night Crew does was interesting, probably more so at the time of publication than by current day standards, but still intriguing. None of the characters were likeable to me, and that was just based on reader’s instinct, because none were developed to any level of being able to confirm it. It comes across as the beginning of a series and it’s probably just as well it didn’t become one.

    Reading Sandford's Prey series, I decided to read one of his stand-alone's. Just as good and could easily evolve into a good series.

    John Sandford is one of those rare authors – a good one who writes about serial killers and other stuff I like. However, his recent offerings have been a bit of disappointment. I miss the “Prey” series, featuring that hard-hearted, role-playing-game-designing detective whose name I can’t recall. Never mind – this book is entertaining, a good brisk read. I only wish that it had dealt more thoroughly with the main characters’ interesting occupation – a freelance film crew who spends their nights filming news footage that they then sell to all of the television stations.

    We follow a 'Night Crew' a group of people who spend thier night chasing stories trying to get the BEST piece of film in order to sell it to the networks.After one very 'good' nights work a parttime member of the crew is found dead. There seemed to be something linking it to the suicide caught on tape. Then other things seem to happen to suggest that the dead member was not the only one of the crew being targeted by this pycho. It becomes a race to find him before anyone else gets hurt.
