The Hunted

By: Wayne Barcomb

Narrated by: Mark Deakins

A lightning-fast police procedural from an up-and-coming talent, The Hunted introduces a homicide detective who gets the shock of his life while tracking a most ingenious serial killer.

From a writer whose previous works Robert B. Parker declared “compelling... swiftly told,” and James W. Hall called “top-notch,” comes this first electrifying thriller featuring New York City homicide detective Frank Russo.

The Hunted begins with a little girl witnessing a horrible crime. Due to the child’s testimony, the murderer is convicted. Eighteen years later the killer is released on parole, and his mission is to track down the now-grown woman he feels betrayed him. A deranged dance of masked identities ensues, and it is up to newly single homicide detective Frank Russo to unravel the case.©2009 Wayne Barcomb; (P)2009 Book on Tape

unpredictable ending

It was a bit slow to start but once capitavited it was hard to stop listening. I'm good at predicting endings but this story took me by surprise. Mark Deakins did a great job of bringing the characters to life with the different dialects for each character. I love listening to this particular narrator and actually look for books narrated by him. The story was good but it's important to pay close attention so not to get lost. Overall well worth listening to.

Exciting

I loved this book. I personally thought the plot was great. I too felt at first that I didn't like the reader, but soon got so caught up in the story that I couldn't quit listening.

saVe your $

awful plot - awful reader! Shouldn't even cost $1.00, it's THAT BAD!
