I more than liked this but less than really liked it, I would have given it 3.5 stars if I could have.
This was a well done who done it with a bit of psychological fallout from child abuse at the core of the crime. What we do to our children does a lot to form who they become and when the children are so badly damaged the fallout can be deadly. That is what happened in The Hunt. The result is the chase to stop a brutal kidnapper who rapes, tortures and then hunts to kill his victims.
As with The Prey there is a flip side to the story. There is a woman character who has been severely hurt and has to find her strength and courage to survive and help solve the crime. While that sounds like it could be cliche it works in Brennan's here. Not Shakespeare by any means but a decent read that doesn't give away the "who" in who dunnit too easily.
