Fox Hunter by Zoë Sharp
4.0
4.5 stars
I've been waiting years for another Charlie Fox book, and Fox Hunter does not disappoint.
This story picks up not long after the last. While it's been a long time since I read that, there is plenty of context to recall key characters and events. When Charlie finds out that someone has tortured and killed one of the men who years before had brutalized her and ruined her army career and that her former lover Sean had been seen nearby, she feels compelled to find out just what happened. She would like to believe that Sean wouldn't stoop to such barbarism, but his personality had changed after the events of the last book and she couldn't be sure.
The trail takes her into war-torn Iraq, Kuwait, Jordan, and Bulgaria as she tries to catch up with Sean. Along the way, she uncovers seemingly unrelated but puzzling plots and she ends up revisiting some characters from old books and meeting a few new ones.
I won't spoil what happens or what Sean's involvement is, but Charlie is her usual, satisfying kickass self who uses her experience and smarts to uncover the truth. As with the other stories in this series, it's not all pretty and neat, and there's no guarantee of happy endings for all the good guys.
I highly recommend this series to anyone who loves tough female protagonists in dark suspense/thriller stories and hope that we won't have to wait so long for the next book.
