About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Return to the dark underbelly of Ardnakelty in the thrilling new sequel to The Searcher.

It’s a blazing summer when two men arrive in the village. They’re coming for gold. What they bring is trouble.

Two years have passed since retired Police Detective Cal Hooper moved from Chicago to the West of Ireland looking for peace. He’s found it, more or less – in his relationship with local woman Lena, and the bond he’s formed with half-wild teenager Trey. So when two men turn up with a money-making scheme to find gold in the townland, Cal gets ready to do whatever it takes to protect Trey. Because one of the men is no stranger: he’s Trey’s father.

But Trey doesn’t want protecting. What she wants is revenge.

Crackling with tension and slow-burn suspense, 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, from the Sunday Times and New York Times bestseller Tana French.

'A richly told tale of tangled loyalties. French ratchets up the tension in increments . . . By the end, these characters have taken on such solidity that, long after finishing it, I often catch myself wondering how they’re doing – a testament to the author’s mastery of her craft' GUARDIAN

Masterfully written, full-bodied characters, and so much heart. This story was matched by the performance. Amazing. Amazing. Amazing.

Story and performance will make you wish the next instalment was available

I thought nothing was going to happen - there was so much character and not enough action - but every now and then she'd drop in a little spark to keep you going and it was entertaining enough to hang in.
The narrator did sound like John Wayne back from the dead but his Irish work was good.

Engaging enough

I didn’t even finish this. It felt interminable. I have loved Tana French so much so when I selected this with my precious monthly credit I was excited. Four hours into it on a long drive and the story hasn’t even moved. I wish I could still return a book as this was just boring.

Such a disappointing book from a favourite writer
