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 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.

'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

very annoying voice terrible Irish accent..
clear enough diction.
there are very few people in Ireland today who use this type of paddy whack language although not the narrators fault, it's the way it's written.

You are always afraid that the 3rd book in a series that you have loved is not going to be as good as the others. But have no fear, this third book is every bit as good as the others. It actually might be the best and is definitely my favorite. Another wonderful story that is beautifully told.

Another great story from Tana French, beautifully written and wonderfully narrated.

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.
