Description

An Instant New York Times Bestseller Named a Most Anticipated Book of 2024 by the Washington Post, TIME Magazine, BBC, TODAY, Elle, CrimeReads, and more "Hailed as the queen of Irish crime fiction, French spins a taut tale of retribution, sacrifice, and family."—TIME From the New York Times bestselling author of The Searcher and “one of the greatest crime novelists writing today” (Vox), a spellbinding new novel set in the Irish countryside. It’s a blazing summer when two men arrive in a small village in the West of Ireland. One of them is coming home. Both of them are coming to get rich. One of them is coming to die. Cal Hooper took early retirement from Chicago PD and moved to rural Ireland looking for peace. He’s found it, more or less: he’s built a relationship with a local woman, Lena, and he’s gradually turning Trey Reddy from a half-feral teenager into a good kid going good places. But then Trey’s long-absent father reappears, bringing along an English millionaire and a scheme to find gold in the townland, and suddenly everything the three of them have been building is under threat. Cal and Lena are both ready to do whatever it takes to protect Trey, but Trey doesn’t want protecting. What she wants is revenge. From the writer who is “in a class by herself,” (The New York Times), a nuanced, atmospheric tale that explores what we’ll do for our loved ones, what we’ll do for revenge, and what we sacrifice when the two collide.

  • One of 2024''s Best Novels
A mystery set in a rural Irish village. This is the second Tana French novel set in mythical Ardnakelty. (It’s not necessary to read the first, The Searcher, to understand this sequel, but it would provide background.) The setting is important, and Tana French makes the hamlet come alive. Tana French reintroduces us to Cal Hooper a retired Chicago cop who decided to relocate to Ardnakelty, his lover Lena a rebellious widow, and Trey Reddy s precocious fifteen-year girl that Cal and Lena have taken under their wing. The pace picks up when Trey’s roaming father, Johnny, returns and tries to involve the townspeople in an elaborate con. Then there’s a murder. I’ve read most of the Tana French novels and this is the best. Everything works. The characterization is superb. The use of dialect and description is spot on. The plot is rich and absorbing. A superb novel where each page demands our attention. ... show more

  • Great continuation of The Searcher...more about Trey than Cal
French is one of my favorite writers. She is an amazing wordsmith and I love her vivid descriptions of the Irish countryside in The Searcher and The Hunter. She is also very adept at bringing to light - through character dialogue and interaction - what is simmering below the surface between people. The Hunter is a great continuation of the story that began in The Searcher. Cal, Lena, and Trey are back, only this time - the story is more about Trey's journey rather than in The Searcher which I feel was more about Cal. In this book, Trey's "good-for-nothing-but-trouble" dad has returned to their small Irish community, and he begins the ball rolling on a scheme that will end in a man's death. Trey - who doesn't have much use for her dad - gets caught up in her dad's shenanigans, only because of her continued desire to avenge her brother's death (The Hunter). Overall, the story was solid, character development great, and dialogue meticulously believable. There were a few developments later in the story that were kind of far-fetched, but not so much that it ruins the story or your investment in the characters. I agree with another reader that this seems like the second book in a trilogy. I don't think we've seen the last of outsiders Cal and Trey as they attempt to navigate their very complicated community in rural Ireland. ... show more

  • Not a Police Procedural, Brilliant Nonetheless
Right before The Witch Elm, Tana French put the Dublin Murder squad quietly away and walked on from the deeply fascinating world of homicide investigation into a realm more dangerous, more uncertain, than her detectives would ever go. These are still books about murders, and what motivates them, as well as method and opportunity--but they are not hidebound by perspective, or by the legal constraints of justice in Ireland or anywhere else. I wasn't sure I liked The Searcher: it seemed too far away, and too nebulous to be compelling. I did enjoy returning to that mountainous, lonely landscape in the Hunter, much to my surprise. I think Tana French is finally writing, and writing very well, about the aspects of life she finds most compelling. The deep driven "why" that makes behavior so unpredictable and frightening. These are not books that should settle you. They are never cozy, no matter how lush the Irish countryside. Bad things happen in men's hearts. You cannot outrun them. You cannot look away. This is a good read, and I find myself believing in Cal, even as I know an Irish actress-turned-writer is conjuring a Chicago ex-cop. ... show more

  • Absolutely brilliant!
I've read all of Tana French's superb novels, but this one eclipses all the others. Everything about it is extraordinary: setting, characters, plot. Words fail me to describe it other than to say: Read This Book!

  • An enthralling book
I have loved many of Tana French's novels, especially the ones with a mystical aspect to them when you're never really sure what's real or not. When I got to The Searcher, the first Cal and Trey book, I was very disappointed and almost didn't finish the book. Frankly, I found it incredibly boring--both the characters and the story. However, I simply adored this most recent novel The Hunter about the same people and location. The book is a wonderful psychological character study of the interactions among the main characters and the community. While the mystery really wasn't the central focus of the story, it was resolved in a manner that seemed very consistent with the characters. Too many mysteries I find conclude in a manner that you really couldn't predict, given what you know. The Hunter had a surprising ending when it's revealed who did the murder but it made perfect sense to the story and characters. I couldn't put the book down and read it in a day and a half and was so sad when I finished it. ... show more
