About the Book:
Seattle, 1985—Crime reporter Holly Sparks is driven to obsession by her sister's unsolved murder—a crime she's convinced was the work of the infamous Green River Killer. But her investigation takes a terrifying turn when she uncovers a chilling truth: There might be two killers stalking the city, and one wears a badge.
Five years later, her bestselling true crime novel can’t erase the pain of her sister’s unsolved case. But when Holly's violent ex-fiancé is let out of prison on parole, and murders mirroring the Green River Killer begin again, Holly fears the unthinkable: Is her ex-fiancé behind her sister's death and a string of others? As the line blurs between hunter and hunted, she faces a deadly choice—uncover the truth or become the next victim.
Only the hunt will tell.
Read it first or last—just don't miss it. A chilling standalone thriller inspired by true crime, The First Hunt plunges into a world where justice and survival collide, and monsters hide in plain sight.
My Review:
Cole is one of my favorite authors and I always jump at the opportunity to review her latest book. I have read every one of hers and I think this may well be the best one yet. The plot was compelling. The character development of Holly was good but I was a little disappointed in some of her dumb choices. Being a true crime author, she should have known better. But, with the twist near the end, it all came together.
A Washington life long resident, I well remember the era of the Green River Killer. Cole has crafted a great thriller woven around the events of that time. The plot development is very good, building tension. One twist half way through gave me chills. And the twists at the end were shocking, so unexpected.
While this is related to The Final Hunt series, it is a stand alone and reads very well on its own. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
My rating: 5/5 stars.
