Description

A New York Times Bestseller • A New York Times Best Thriller of the Year (So Far) • An NPR Favorite Fiction Read of 2024 • A Parade Best Book of 2024 So Far • Named a Best Beach Read of 2024 by Entertainment Tonight and Harper’s Bazaar “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.

    • Long Anticipated Sequel to The Searcher is Well Worth the Wait
This is the sequel to Tana French’s novel, The Searcher. I read that novel and eagerly hoped that we’d see Cal Hooper again in subsequent book. Cal is a retired Chicago police officer who moved to the rural west Ireland village, hoping for a quiet life. In The Searcher, Cal meets a lonely, almost feral teenager, Trey, who wants Cal’s help to find a missing brother. Cal and Trey form a tenuous bond, and when we catch up with the pair in The Hunter two years later, we find that bond has grown stronger and deeper, and a touch easier, with Cal becoming a cautious surrogate father to Trey, treading lightly so as to not stain this carefully nurtured relationship. Both novels are rich in their imagery of the rugged Irish setting, and in illustrating how difficult it is for any “interloper” to become accepted by the town’s citizens. Each in their own way, Cal and Trey both have to constantly work to find their place in the village that is their home. The Hunter explores the return of Trey’s father to the village. This obvious grifter, Johnny Reddy, arrives with no apology for his long absence and the hardship it’s meant for his wife and several children. He brings a get-rich-quick story of long-lost gold deposits that enthralls many gullible men in Johnny’s old circle of detractors. But both Trey and Cal are more skeptical, as are a few others. The supposed basis for the lost-gold tale is an English millionaire, who arrives to support Johnny’s scheme. This is the story that drives this novel. As with other Tana French crime novels, while it is a story of “crime,” it’s more a novel about relationships. We see the action through Cal’s lens, and we have access to his inner thoughts and motivations. But it’s a very clever third person narrative. Gorgeous prose. Keen insight into the human psyche. Completely satisfying. Very hard to put down. I cannot give this novel any less than a 5-star rating. I hope Tana French is busy writing her next novel. I want to keep reading her beautifully told stories for the rest of my life. ... show more

    • a slow burn
Excellent writing again from Tana French. Her characters come to life and you can easily escape into this Irish village. Story is a bit slow but worth the read to an excellent ending.

    • Beautiful and Engaging
A true, psychological thriller firmly set in Ireland, with an engaging cast of characters I’d follow forever. Tana French nails the art of small town manipulation integrated seamlessly with the story’s setting.

    • Impeccable
Tana French is absolutely fantastic. I love her story telling and her writing style (grammar, syntax, etc) is just impeccable. The character development is delivered perfectly and is well-rounded. The endings of her books are always well concluded without dragging on. Wonderfully written- one of her many masterpieces. Read her books if you have not already. She is one of my favorite authors and I look forward to the next. ... show more

    • A stunning, satisfying, loving read
This author had been on my do not read list as she was a best seller. I have not trusted this designation until I read the first Cal Hooper novel last week and now this. I am somewhat reminded of William Kent Krueger’s novels of small town life in the mid-century Midwest in America. The Irishness of this makes it ever more fun. But there is emotional truth in every heart she includes. ... show more

    • Not quite up to French's usual but first-rate writing, just the same
THE HUNTER is Tana French's continuation of THE SEARCHER and its story of Cal, an American retired detective who has moved to a small town in Ireland; Trey, a teenaged girl in that town who is still set on righting the wrong that was the subject of THE SEARCHER; and the rest of Cal's neighbors, most of whom made me wonder at the end of the last book why he did not just leave and still make me wonder if he will. He should. I've read all of French's books, and they normally rate five stars. But I don't rate THE HUNTER that way for two reasons: first, unlike most of French's books, this one has a slow beginning. Second, THE HUNTER assumes you have already read THE SEARCHER and remember all the particulars of the murder in that book. I did read it but did not remember everything. This was troublesome. But (and this is a big but) French's writing, especially her dialogue, is as first rate as ever right from the start. You'll never want to give up on this book. So you'll read about Cal and Trey and their neighbors again, including Lena, Cal's love interest who shares his concern for Trey, and Mart, the neighbor from hell, in my opinion, who pretends to be neighborly. But there's not much action until another murder occurs almost halfway through the book. Anyone in the town could have done it, even someone from outside the town; the victim, Rushborough, was a despicable man. Another man the town would like to get rid of is Johnny, Trey's father, who has come back after a 4-year absence, a man who loves no one but himself. He and Rushborough had come up with a scheme to sell these people on the idea that there was gold on their land. They were almost successful. All in all, this town does not seem like a good place to live. I don't understand why Cal doesn't just get out of there. It's a beautiful piece of Ireland but full of trouble. If French continues this series, I think she's going to have to deal with that. ... show more

    • A slow read, nearly bailed until Chapter 14
I've read all of Tana French's books, including the prequel to this one, The Searchers. Truthfully, I was disappointed in the plotting, the character development, and the pace of the story. French does focus more on character, rather than on a murder or a mystery at the heart of the story. I found Cal's attachment to Trey unbelievable, and Trey's character to be far beyond that of a 15 year old. (Even the previous book did not lay the groundwork for the motives and behavior of those characters.) Still, once the "bad guy" meets an end, I began to become more engrossed. The tale includes the colorful local characters, who are certainly not dumb country bumpkins, and luscious descriptions of the Irish countryside. There is a surprise plot twist at the end. As other commentators have noted, perhaps this book was incorrectly positioned and marketed as a thriller. Overall, worth reading, but not the author's best. ... show more
