About this listen

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.

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.

Brilliant!

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!

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.

Gripping drama with the added skill and talent of Jeff Harding in bringjng all the characters to life with his ability to change voice so effectively.

This is a great boys'-own, vigilante man-hunt.

Jeff Harding narrates, a personal favourite of mine. He brings that wonderful dry, ironic delivery that makes these American 'manly' novels so enjoyable to me.

The story is covered in the blurb, so I won't waste time with that. The adventure takes place over a couple of weeks and our two heroes become ever more battered and bruised as they chase their equally injured and rotting quarry across America. In doing so they have to outwit not only the baddie, but the police and FBI. A grand adventure where one waits to see which party is going to run out of functioning body parts first. The two heroes of our tale have a good relationship and there are plenty of light moments in the tale.

Its probably a silly book, but I enjoyed it very much. Suspend your disbelief and enjoy a fine old goodies verus the (very) baddie chase. Sadly I seemed to have munched-up both books by this author that are available on Audible. Which is a proper shame as finding new authors is always a treat. I would have unhesitatingly bought more.

An gleeful manhunt

Well plotted, kept me grilled from chapter to chapter. Quite violent, but only When it is necessary to the plot.When I'd finished listening I bought the next in the series which I am saving as a guilty pleasure.

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.

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

Not for the faint of heart. The characters are excellent. The narrator is the best.

Great Listening

This book got my interest from the first page and held it throughout the whole book. Thoroughly enjoyed it and will be looking out for more books by this talented author.
