Summary

It's time to finish what he started... A young girl is snatched in broad daylight from outside her school and later found brutally murdered and hanging from a tree. When recently retired San Francisco Police Inspector, Bob Farrell, sees this on the news, he realises his worst nightmare has just come true. The same brutal killer a government agency stopped him from putting away twenty years before is once more on the loose. As the killer wreaks a trail of blood and destruction across North America, Bob Farrell sets out to track him down. But Farrell's not playing by the rules any more than the killer is, and soon the FBI have both of them in their sights...

A visceral and heart-wrenching cross between No Country For Old Men and Silence of the Lambs, this is an exhilarating debut from a new author who will be thrilling crime fiction fans for many years to come.

Awful

Would have given 0 stars if I could.
Totally implausible plot.
Corny dialogue.
Comic book characters.
Don't waste your time on this book.

nothing like "No Country for Old Men"!

I didn't actually get to the end of book. All the characters were unlikeable and often unbelievable. full of cliche's like "you ever been to war boy?" and "things happen, get used to it"..sort of thing. The FBI were all ghastly and nasty and the way the "hero" who tried to save the girl was treated by everyone..press, boss, FBI was unbelievable considering he was almost killed attempting to stop an abduction. The retired cop..where have we heard that before? did not improve the story and I found the whole thing formulaic and one dimentional. I love a good crime story but whoever said this was a cross between "No Country for Old Men" and "Silence of the Lambs" was talking rubbish. I will be VERY careful to ignore publisher's blurb in future.

Brilliant!

A gripping story from the get go! Graphic in it's violence but not gratuitously and the characters are very well developed.
Not to mention as usual the narrator Jeff Harding puts in a stellar performance!! One of the best books I've listened to this year.

To many implausible items. went beyond reasonable

narration great, story just a few stretches too far. Needs to reign in the imagination. May improve in time.

Gutsy and excellent

Took a while to really get into this one, but just brilliant. Story and narration as good as it gets. Humour always present in the midst of nightmares.

Fast moving crime thriller

Definitely not for the squeamish! I always regard Jeff Harding as a quality benchmark and he doesn't disappoint with this reading. I'll be looking out for more titles from Sean Lynch.

an ok detective thrilled novel

The plot is basically good but you can tell its a young author (this is Lynch's debut) evidence in the slightly purile writing style ; some of the descriptions are painfully tired and predicable clichés. This is very distracting when your trying to follow what is otherwise a decent story, there are however some more mature and interesting moments.

Harding is a great narrator and I frequently got the feeling he was slightly wasted on this rather everyday text.

Not good

What did you like best about Wounded Prey? What did you like least?

Not even the great and good Jeff Harding can stop this one being clichéd and trite.

Has Wounded Prey put you off other books in this genre?

No, I enjoy this genre very much.

Which character – as performed by Jeff Harding – was your favourite?

I enjoy Jeff Harding as a narrator, he brings all the characters to life.

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

It's very clichéd, so I can frankly imagine that yes, it would be made into a TV series. I don't know who would be able to star in it.

Any additional comments?

This review sounds horribly snobbish I know, but the book is clichéd, and if anybody is thinking of reading/listening to it, then at least I've warned you! Also the title can be a little misleading as it sounds like a John Sandford novel - maybe that was part of the problem. Although I knew it wasn't, part of me went in expecting to hear about Lucas Davenport!

viETnam

Perfect escapist novel. Violent but balanced. Paced well. Simple devices. Incredibly well read.
Dialogue leaves a lot to be desired in places.
'viETnam'.
