THE HUNT CLUB

Private investigator Wyatt Hunt's group of cops, lawyers, and friends, informally known as "The Hunt Club," is up to its ears in the search for a missing lawyer who is also a popular TV reporter, while also investigating a homicide. Guerin Barry's voices are genuine and natural, and he reads with an excellent range of emotions. He does an expert job, especially with the dialogue, much of which occurs in phone conversations, leaving the listener with no doubt about the settings of the conversations. The author's sense of humor is conveyed in low-key, wry manner. Barry's use of a varied tempo adds drama and suspense that doesn't let up until the final page.
