The Hunter by Tana FrenchMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Another gripping novel by Tana French. Ardnakelty is a fictional western Ireland rural town set on the side of mountain. The story continues from her previous book, The Searcher, by focusing on Cal, Trey and Lena in a very non-traditional family unit. It would be helpful if you have read that book before reading this one. Trey's long-absent father suddenly reappears along with a millionaire he met in London, along with a get-rich scheme to look for gold in the mountain.
As readers we become immersed in the lifestyle, the place, and the pace of Ardnakelty. The book is a slow build and atmospheric, delving deep into each of the characters. The author has a gift for both description and dialog in her writing. In addition, there is quite a bit of laugh-out-loud humor, particularly in the dialog between Cal and Trey.
I was glad to have read it on my Kindle because I could look up many of the Irish terms and colloquialisms. Many thanks to NetGalley and Viking Press for an advanced reader copy of this book.
