‘The Deadly Hunter’ is the eleventh novel in the Jedi Apprentice series. Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan have finally arrived home on Coruscant. Before heading back to the Temple, Qui-Gon wants to visit an old friend (who owns a diner that is reminiscent of Dexter from AOTC) and introduce Obi-Wan, but naturally it isn’t so easy. The duo gets pulled into a plot that involves an unknown bounty hunter. The book is at its core, a murder mystery, with multiple suspects. The mystery is well done, never showing its hand too early. The bounty hunter is an interesting new species we haven’t seen before and is one who can actually hold her own against Jedi and their lightsabers. We don’t learn too much about her, though the book does end on a cliffhanger so there will undoubtedly be more info in the next book. And what an interesting cliffhanger, poor Obi-Wan! I can’t wait to keep going with this series!
