Exceptional . . . By now, any reader who still thinks French should follow the rules doesnt deserve her remarkable novels." —The Washington Post"The secretive village is a trope as old as mysteries—as old as humanity itself. But French does more than show the banal evil behind a smiling face. She makes it particular as a kicked dogs limp and dying embers in a steel barrel—and reminds us that we underestimate such places at our peril." —The New York Times"French specializes in books full of psychological acuity, bone-deep empathy and authentic colloquial speech. All of these aspects are on full display in The Hunter, a roughhewn comedy that before long becomes a tale of rough justice." —The Wall Street Journal"Beautifully written . . . an absorbing, immersive read." —The Guardian"As ever, French writes like a dream, evoking the natural beauty and peril of the mountain rising between Cal and Treys houses, and consistently reminding readers how deft she is at dialogue." —Boston Globe"A book by a modern master . . . inimitable and thrilling." —Chicago Tribune"Impressive payoff awaits readers of this quietly deliberate crime novel. … One of Irelands most distinctive writers delivers her most cinematic set piece yet." —Irish Times"A dark and lyrical tale of revenge, friendship, and loyalty in collision... [A]s usual, in a Tana French novel, the characters are well-drawn, the dialogue is superb, the settings are vivid." —Associated Press"As French revisits the seemingly bucolic landscape where trouble roils just under the surface, her writing continues to shift from mystery to meditation. … Morally shaded and complex, [The Hunter] will leave you thinking about whos right—and whats wrong—long after you turn the last page." —NPR"A novel of psychological insight, complexity and the sort of tension that only arises when the characters youre reading about feel real." —Parade"Tana French is one of those crime writers who gets it right every time, and her new novel doesnt miss." —Cosmopolitan"The gorgeous writing here is classic French, even as she leads her fans through a decidedly different sort of detective story." —Elle"[An] unforgettable new thriller." —Esquire"As with all of Frenchs books, something is awry—and the fun is in the unraveling." —Vogue"Tana French stretches the tension—and the mystery genre—like taffy in her return to the ethically murky Irish village of Ardnakelty." —The Christian Science Monitor"Tana French is a master of novels filled with creeping unease, slow-rolling tension and great atmosphere." —New York Post "May be Frenchs best novel yet. . . . The Hunter delivers a taut, intelligent examination of loyalty, instinct, and community. French masterfully excavates the secrets we keep for love or revenge and explores the lengths we go to protect our family, be it blood or chosen." —CrimeReads"Tana Frenchs immersive, thought-provoking The Hunter revels in the quiet moments, but knows true peace is elusive." —BookPage "Wonderfully evocative, entertaining, and propulsive all the way through." —Lit Hub"The quirky characters, subtle snark, and propulsive plot make this an excellent contender for your spring break beach bag." —Real SimplePraise for The Searcher"The west of Ireland looked good to Cal Hooper on the internet. But now that hes living there, the rugged beauty of the region overwhelms him, as it will anyone reading Tana Frenchs The Searcher, an audacious departure for this immensely talented author… Not to be missed." —Janet Maslin, The New York Times"Tana French is… like a poet. She writes beautifully…If you havent read her yet, I really highly recommend that you do." —Harlan Coben"Taut, chiseled and propulsive." —Vogue Details ISBN059386672X Author Roger Clark Publisher Penguin Putnam Inc Edition Description Unabridged edition Year 2024 ISBN-13 9780593866726 Publication Date 2024-03-05 Imprint Penguin Audio Subtitle A Novel Country of Publication United States Audience General US Release Date 2024-03-05 Narrator Roger Clark Playing time 990 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
