I enjoyed The Hunter as much as I did the first in the series (The Searcher). For a thriller it’s a very measured, thoughtful pace - and I really liked that slow burn. Cal Hooper is dark and brooding, and so is this book. We get a little light relief from the farmers and other inhabitants of the village - right up until they show their true colours.

Trey’s absentee father suddenly returns, and he has a way for everyone to get rich quick. Or does he? Johnny Reddy brings chaos to the calm of the village and Carl’s life.

The real star of this novel is the landscape - I enjoyed reading these passages. Cal and Trey are pretty special characters, too. What a double act. I do wonder though, if the ending of this didn’t seem a bit ‘final’? Will we see them in another book or not? I hope so.
