From Publishers Weekly
The author of four previous mystery thrillers starring Lucas Davenport ( Rules of Prey , etc.) evokes with precision and clarity two disparate, but equally unsettling types of harshness: the raw power of nature and the pitilessness of certain human beings. In a rural area of northern Wisconsin, a family of three is savagely wiped out by the Iceman, who then torches their house. In pursuit of a damaging photograph--a snapshot of him in a sexual situation with a local boy--this fiend puts no value on human life. Enter Davenport, the laconic, slightly cynical ex-cop from Minneapolis, who uncovers several disturbing truths before determining the Iceman's identity. The wintry climate is practically palpable here; numbing cold and blizzards prove as threatening as the Iceman's malevolence. Despite its chilling moments (literally and figuratively), this forceful narrative is tempered with an unexpected humanity, as evidenced primarily in the mature, slowly blossoming romance between Davenport and a local doctor. The moments of tenderness and humor shared by the rugged detective and this worldlywise Mother Earth figure stand in vigorous counterpoint to the surrounding events. Sandford casts a keen eye, too, on small-town life: he knows that everyone's peccadillos are grist for the rumor mill, and that secrets can quickly sour. A compelling vitality suffuses this novel, arguably the finest in a sterling quintet.

From Kirkus Reviews
Vastly entertaining fifth entry in Sandford's popular Prey series (Silent Prey, 1992, etc.). This time, ex-cop and master- gamesman Lucas Davenport takes on a crazed killer ravaging a small Wisconsin town. The killer, who calls himself ``the Iceman'' for his sang- froid, debuts in the creepy opening pages by stalking an isolated house, gunning down the woman inside, chopping up her husband, and torturing their daughter--all in a failed attempt to retrieve an incriminating photo that's fallen into the victims' hands. It's a gruesome start, but Sandford splatters the gore mostly off-page, relying on suspense--and there's plenty of it--to jangle readers' nerves. When the bodies are found, the local sheriff calls in Davenport to help. Arriving in town, Davenport, who's at loose ends in his life, finds himself facing two enemies: the Iceman, but also record cold and snow that's frozen the town into a death-trap. His investigation--which hinges on retrieving the photo before the Iceman does--stalls in the face of challenging puzzles centering on time-of-death and a seemingly reluctant witness, but it also butts him up against some marvelous characters, including a female M.D. with whom he falls eagerly in love. Meanwhile, the Iceman slays anyone who might know about the photo--which, it turns out, shows him having sex with a local boy, his first victim: The Iceman heads a child-porn ring. When Davenport--who's been revitalized by the case--at last recovers the photo, the Iceman's surprising identity is revealed, leading to a furious climactic chase on snowmobiles through dark woods and howling wind--and to Davenport and the Iceman each having a tˆte-…-tˆte with death. Crackling action, a clever mystery, and characters who breathe make this great fun: one of the best Preys yet and a must for thriller fans. -- Copyright ©1993, Kirkus Associates, LP.

Disturbing and Scary Whodunit -- Sandford's Masterpiece
By A Customer
John Sandford's first 4 novels were certainly varied and assured enough to distinguish themselves as worthy entries in their genre. Yet, as interesting as the villians in those pieces were, the plots didn't have a lot of momentum to them, mostly because Sandford gave the reader too much information ahead of his lead character, Lucas Davenport. So, instead of keeping us on the edge of our seats, we basically waited for Davenport to discover what we already knew, diluting the immediacy and urgency of the plot.
Luckily, with WINTER PREY, Sandford has changed his structure to the better, creating a nerve-frying tale of terror that ranks with the finest of the decade. The eerie snowbound locations lend plenty of isolated, creepy texture to the plot, while Sandford brilliantly elicits a disturbing, menacing atmosphere that puts us right into the story, giving us ingenious clues and surprise plot revelations to keep us glued to the pages all night long. Lucas Davenport emerges as a fully realized individual, while the supporting characters are first-rate, as are the action scenes and forensic details. A masterpiece.

Fabulous! With the weather as a major character!
By Kathy Davie
Fifth in the Lucas Davenport thriller series revolving around an ex-cop who misses the action. This story takes place in Grant, in northern Wisconsin, in the depths of winter.
My Take
Man, another good one from Sandford. It’s terrifying how easy it is for someone like the Iceman to exist within a community, to abuse and murder people without being caught. It’s such a small community that I bet every person could name off every other citizen in the area. And yet, the Iceman hides within it.
I’d sure hate to be a fireman or policeman in a cold climate, and Sandford did a great job of making me feel the cold as they attempted to work the scene. I like Climpt. I hope he shows up again in the series. I loved the way he reasoned out why Harper’s “suicide” was really murder. It made so much sense. That bit with the priest demonstrates why it’s practical to bring in someone from outside.
I’ve been reading enough books that I’m definitely getting the picture on self-defense and guns, if you own a gun, plan to use a gun: go to the range, practice, make it an instinctive reaction. Or, heck, if that’s all too much trouble, then plan to die. Then there’s all the gossip running through town. Another lesson for all cops. Do NOT talk out of school. The Iceman’s experience in school --- on both sides of the bullying fence --- are reason enough for teachers and principals to do what they can to stop this behavior. Can you imagine how many lives would have been saved if someone had stopped this behavior early on?
Jesus, the way she’s thinking and talking, Ginny’s been having sex for some time. And she just turned fourteen. Parental licensing!!!
Aw, man, I understand the need for the police to ask so many questions, but it’s horrible how it will force decent and innocent people to have to uproot their lives and leave.
LOL, go, Weather! I’m with her. There’s all this crime happening around us and the cops are focusing on speeding tickets. Oops, sorry, I mean fulfilling their performance standards…*eye roll*…
Winter Prey is a good example of what I love about thrillers and mysteries, following the trail, picking up the clues, and working the information. And they have so little to start with. It’s a puzzle, and I do love a good puzzle.
The crazy thing about all this? If the Iceman had just left it alone…
The Story
It’s horrific. No one would have thought the LaCourts had an enemy in the world, especially not one that would brutally torture and murder them. Nor does the police department in Grant have the experience to investigate a group of murders like this. Lucky for them, Lucas Davenport has had plenty of publicity, so they know where to find him.
They’ll need him when the murderer careens out of control.
The Characters
Lucas Davenport has the experience that Carr needs to work this scene, and he’s staying in his cabin in Sawyer County. Elle Kruger, a.k.a., Sister Mary Joseph, is a college psychology professor and an old childhood friend of Lucas’.
The police
Sheriff Sheldon “Shelly” Carr is religious and protective of Father Bergen. His wife is a nutjob with a cleaning fixation, so Shelly is seeing Jeanine Perkins on the side. A fact that Lucas makes good use of later. Deputies Henry Lacey, Tommy who did the photography, Gene Climpt has a tragedy in his past and is a good investigator, Arne Bruun is a quick thinker, Johnny, Russell “Rusty” Hinks, and Dusty Bane will all help. Helen Arris is the office manager. Tod Crane is the lab chief from Madison.
Carl Snyder is a burglary specialist with the Minneapolis PD. Special Agents Lansley and Tolsen are the advance FBI agents. Detective Domeir is a Milwaukee cop with experience with sexual predators. Bobby McClain is a publisher. Zeke is a schoolteacher with a printer.
The firemen
Duane Helper is a professional firefighter who lives in the back of the firehouse. He is full of town gossip. Dick Westrom runs one of the hardware stores in town and is a volunteer fireman. His wife is Janice.
The hospital
Dr. Weather Karkinnen is the local doctor who’s on call as pathologist and keeps shooting herself in the foot, metaphorically. Dr. Rice, the local GP, does surgeries. Robbie’s strength will come in handy.
Father Philip Bergen is the pastor at All Souls, Shelly’s church. Bergen has his own cross to bear. Joe is an AA sponsor. Bob Jones is the principal at Grant Junior High. John Mueller is a student and knows about the photograph. Bob Dell is one of the LaCourts’ neighbors and a foreman at the lumber mill. Eldon is the county attorney.
Frank and Claudia LaCourt are on a second marriage, and they’re very happy. Lisa is their daughter. Jean Hansen is his ex and Jimmy Wilson is hers.
The Iceman is eager to keep his identity secret and is willing to do anything to keep it.
The sex gang
Fellow student Jim Harper set this all off with that photograph; Russ Harper is his mean pervert of a dad who runs the gas station. He’s got a prison record. Mark, Rosie, and Ginny Harris are orphans living in a trailer. Judy Schoenecker and her husband, Andy, a local bookkeeper, are heading out to Florida with their daughters. Doug.
The Cover
The cover is a snowy white background with footprints traipsing through the title. In the upper right corner is a burnt out exposure of a three-story farmhouse isolated in the snowy hills as the moon shines overhead.
The title is both the season and a reference to the Iceman as he seeks his Winter Prey.

Best Of The Prey Series
By David B. Erickson
Lucas Davenport ain't never going to be Harry Bosch, but he's a good enough morally ambivalent character that you care about what he does and why he does it. Of the Prey series, this is a standout for its plot about ugly sexual behavior in the sticks and for its detailed evocation of Minnesota in the dead (no pun intended) of winter. Mystery aficionados already know this book, and they'll tell you that another great thing about it is that Sandford plays fair with the plot. Things get strange, but there's a logical thread throughout. Superior reading for long-distance air travel.
