HUNTED by Abir Mukherjee

Narrated by: Nikki Patel (Yasmine), Amber Rose Revah (Shreya), Stefan Trout (Greg), Mikhail Sen (Sajid), and Sophia Roberts (Rehana).

A breakneck paced terrorism thriller that takes place a week before the toxic presidential elections. We meet Jack and Yasmine right before an explosion occurs in a busy shopping mall and an unheard of organization from Oregon claims responsibility. The FBI gets involved and agent Shreya Mistry, who has personal baggage and professional problems, is determined to be involved with this investigation. A father in the United Kingdom, Sajid Khan, has heard his daughter, Aliyah, isn’t in Japan as he thought, but is in the USA. A mother, Carrie, from Florida who has made a connection between her son and the bomber, fears he has been radicalized. She arrives in the UK to talk to Sajid in a desperate plea for him to come to the USA and help her in locating their children before a catastrophe can derail the country. Can they find their kids before it’s too late?

I really enjoyed this thriller and was immersed right from the start. It was frightening to see how the preying on vulnerable individuals is done and how they are able to be manipulated into believing. This well crafted story feels like it could have been torn from the pages of today’s headlines. Each chapter ending on a cliffhanger so you keep turning the pages of this taut and credible read. It’s a story with regrets, retribution and redemption. This is my first read of Abir Mukherjee’s and look forward to more from him. The narration from the cast of readers was very good and enjoyed that each character had a different voice.

… “It only worked if you were busted and with nothing left to lose. Her greatest trick wasn’t how she controlled them, it was how she chose those ready to be controlled, ready to believe and desperate enough to act.”
