Book Review: Hunting Time by Jeffery Deaver (Colter Shaw / Tracker #4)

Hunting Time Hunting Time by Jeffery Deaver
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Colter Shaw (Tracker) is hired by the president of a small nuclear power company to find and protect his key engineer and her 16-year-old daughter.  They are on the run from her ex-husband who was just released from prison early after serving time for her attempted murder.  

This is a thrilling, page-turning cat and mouse game with plenty of twists and turns --just what I expected from Jeffery Deaver and Colter Shaw!  The mother/daughter team is initially effective at evading capture, but the book really clicks when they are teamed up with Colter Shaw.  He works best when he setting up traps for the individuals trying to catch them and making his way through the woods.  The reader also gets additional backstory about his parents and siblings when they were living on the compound in California.  All in all, a very exciting and escapist book - a fantastic summer read!!
