A review by canada_matt
The Hunter by John Lescroart
4.0
A great Lescroart novel, built on suspence, intrigue, and a little humour. The main character is dogged by a mysterious texter, who has him open his closed-off life, in the hopes that he will discover the dirty secrets of his past. Those secrets, in turn, open things wide and force the entire book to turn from a mystery into the search for a murderer. Who is at the heart of this and will everyone end up solving this 40 year old case?
While Lescroart uses his minor characters (you must read his entire collection of works to understand), their promotion to 'major' characters works well. The flow of the storyline and the suspence factor are not lost on me as I flew through the pages of this book. A more mystery-centred story than my preferential legal thriller by Lescroart, I had to focus on development of the plot and characters more than I am used to doing, but it all worked itself out.
Great work Mr. Lescroart. Dismas Hardy hiding there in your mind? Any ideas for putting him back in the driver's seat?
