The Hunt
あらすじ・解説
From the author of Real Bad Things and Cottonmouths, a Los Angeles Review Best Book of 2017, comes the darkly suspenseful tale of a small-town Easter tradition and its murderous secrets.
For seventeen years, a serial murderer has used the Presley, Arkansas, Annual Hunt for the Golden Egg to find prey. Or at least that’s what some people believe. Others, like the town’s devoted “Eggheads,” relish the tradition and think the deaths are just unfortunate accidents. But for Nell Holcomb, the town’s annual Hunt dredges up a particularly painful memory: her brother’s death, long believed to be “the Hunter’s” first kill.
Nell has been caring for her nephew since then, trying to keep him safe and trying to conceal the role she played in his father’s death. Most importantly, she’s been trying to avoid the Hunt—despite the clashes that erupt in town over the event and her best friend’s obsession with winning the big prize.
As Easter draws near and the town’s frenzy escalates, Nell must face her past and the Hunt as the danger once again veers close to home.
批評家のレビュー
“Donna Postel and Bahni Turpin effectively complement each other in this mystery, especially as the tension mounts.… Postel and Turpin depict the deep-rooted history of this small, industrial environment, and the cast of characters found there, their stories intertwined in compelling ways. Both narrators skillfully embody these lives with their performances.”—AudioFile Magazine
“Donna Postel and Bahni Turpin skillfully narrate this Southern suspense, sustaining the tension as listeners are supplied with clues and atmospheric details. Social media posts, radio transcripts, news reports, and even a Google doc detailing information about the Hunter's victims are performed with varying tones and cadences, adding interest to this occasionally meandering tale. An absorbing, suspense-filled novel for true crime and podcast fans. Share with fans of S.A. Cosby, Eli Cranor, and Megan Abbott.”—Library Journal
“Truly absorbing…Ford renders the town of Presley, Ark., as a living entity swirling with resentments and loyalties, and governed by fear, thanks to wild rumors that a serial murderer stalks prey at the town’s famous ‘Hunt for the Golden Egg’ each Easter…You won’t find any tidy narratives or simple judgments here.”—New York Times Book Review
