Good writing held back by the extremely slow pace. She does a great job with character development and painting the picture of life in this small town, but it doesn’t suck you in the way the books in her Dublin Murder series did.

Out March 5 - thank you to the publisher for providing me with a free copy!
Rating: 5/5 stars
The sequel to THE SEARCHER and continuation of Cal Hooper’s story.
I am boldly calling it: this book will be my favorite of March and easily in my top ten of 2024. I absolutely LOVED it, from the found family to the small town to the added POVs expanding on the perspectives of characters I already loved from THE SEARCHER. So many small moments left me teary, and I gasped, grinned, and laughed more than once.
THE HUNTER is one of those books I won’t accept any criticisms of because it instantly meant so much to me in a single read. These characters have my entire heart, and this is the kind of book that is so perfectly and intricately crafted that I know I will reread it and only ever find additional things to love.
Could not possibly recommend this one any more than I already do, and I apologize in advance if I never shut up about it!
CW: Violence/death/injury; mild animal cruelty

This sequel to The Searcher takes us back to Cal and Trey in rural Ireland for a slow-burning mystery. With fantastic character building and use of setting, Tana French’s writing is as exquisite as ever. Thank you Net Galley and the publishers for this ARC.
