I am enjoying this series...and things aren't always as they seem, as we discover near the end of this book.

Another great addition to the series. Hit the ground running, but the story really kicked off in the second half when the seeds sowed at the start began to flourish, all the threads coming together to make a fantastic tapestry. Hannah was one of my favorite characters from this book, and I loved the moment when we found out what the title meant. Can't wait for book 5!

The book was ok for me. The beginning was a little hard to engage with me, the reason for this is that the main characters were not introduced in the beginning chapters of the book. I thought the the book was a little winded for me. The dad stalking his family I found very interesting. It pulled at my curiosity of why did he call someone after he spotted his family with a gun. Creepy. The book is ok.

Awesome.

I was very excited to get an advance reader's copy of this book and, as usual, [a:Jeffery Deaver|1612|Jeffery Deaver|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1305944481p2/1612.jpg] did not disappoint! [b:Hunting Time|60621123|Hunting Time|Jeffery Deaver|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1652287737l/60621123._SY75_.jpg|95555571] is being released on November 22--preorder it now.

The main character, and a fabulous reoccurring one, Colter Shaw is the product of a survivalist family and an expert tracker who makes a living as a “reward seeker.” In essence, he travels the country to help police solve crimes and to locate missing people. In this instance, in addition to finding a mother and daughter, he is tasked with keeping them safe from a highly skilled and emotionally charged ex-husband who was just released from prison and along with hired killers is actively stalking them.

This is a high-stakes, life-and-death chess match between multiple individuals, each with the skills and abilities to outwit the others. And, in quintessential Deaver style, full of twists and turns. I also enjoyed the ending, which is the place where many otherwise good books lose me.

Highly recommended--get it, read it. You will thank me.

Hunting Time is the fourth book in the bestselling Colter Shaw series by Jeffery Deaver. I am a huge JD fan and have loved all of his series. This one is no exception and is full of his usual twists, tuns and shocking moments that we have come to love. While the last book felt like it rounded out the backstory of Colter and his family, this one instead focused on Shaw solving a case. This time a woman on the run from her newly released from prison ex-husband. I loved how JD tied everything together, just when you think you know what’s going on, another twist and another angle. This was a fast-paced thrill ride of a story. I am looking forward to seeing what comes next for Colter Shaw. Thank you to the author, publisher and Netgalley for an arc of this book.
