Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

It’s a blazing summer when two men arrive in a small village in the West of Ireland. They’re coming to get rich, but what they bring is trouble.

Waiting for them is Cal Hooper, a retired Chicago detective who moved to rural Ireland looking for some peace. He’s found it, more or less – in his relationship with local woman Lena, and the bond he’s formed with tearaway teenager Trey Reddy. As the two men circle the townland with talk of a scheme to find gold in the mountainside, Cal gets ready to do whatever it takes to protect Trey. Because one of them is no stranger: he’s Trey’s father. But Trey doesn’t want protecting. What she wants is revenge.

Crackling with tension, THE HUNTER explores what we’ll do for our loved ones, what we’ll do for revenge, and what we sacrifice when the two collide.

Spectacular. Beautifully crafted characters and full of tension... I was on edge from page one (Shelley Burr)

The realness of the characters

Loved the first book, but think I loved this more. Hopefully there will be another 🤞
The characters are familiar, but you are still surprised by what some of them are capable of. Tana French is definitely one of my favourite authors

Outstanding characterisation

I was thrilled to find this book because I loved The Searcher. Fabulous characters, vivid descriptions of the scenery and wry dialogue, all narrated by the wonderful Roger Clark. Tana French, I’m a huge fan and I’ll be listening to this again and again.

Absolutely marvellous

Tana French never disappoints. In this, she continues to explore the mentality of a small close-knit community in the Cal Hooper series. There are many twists and turns and many unresolved issues, especially from the first book. Again moral principles are blurred,, which adds to the depth, much more than the usual, conventional crime novel. I do hope the series continues.

Rich telling of a dark story

Loved the tight plotting, the great characters and their dialogue. The reading was fantastic too. And a moral challenge to the reader.

Another blinder from Tana French

Ardnakelty’s back! French’s handling of character and landscape is as good in this novel as in The Searcher. Roger Clarke’s reading is superb, even with the occasional mispronunciation. I especially liked his rendition of ‘bedraggled’ as ‘bed-raggled’. Kinda wonderful. A great pleasure altogether.

Dazzling performance and story

A compelling, very satisfying listen with great, sharply drawn characters. Loved the storytelling of the narrator and the way he differentiated the characters so brilliantly. Felt I was there on the mountain watching the whole story play out. Highly recommend.
