Suspenseful, engaging and scary. If you're a fan of thrillers you don't want to miss this one. The Hunt might keep you awake at night.

The Hunt is Detective Erica Sands's third book. She gets a little upset with the difficulties in finding Charles Sterling. In hunting for him, Erica travels to South Asia, South America, and Europe. She is sure that Charles Sterling, who, by the way, is her father, has not changed and is planning and will be killing more people. Not everyone believes in this. Would this be true? You must read the book to find out.

This book was ok. I didn’t love the characters. Some were downright unlikable. Though the plot was somewhat predictable, the story was well written. I enjoyed that, while written from multiple perspectives, the book did not excessively bounce back and forth between POVs, but instead was written in four parts. The most unpredictable part of the book was how it ended. I don’t want to spoil it, but I definitely wanted something I didn’t get.

The Hunt is the third installment in the Erica Sands series, and it proves to be just as captivating as its predecessors. The story takes readers on a thrilling international chase, spanning Brazil, Vietnam, France, and back to the UK.

At the heart of the novel is Charles Sterling, a brilliant yet dangerous serial killer who has managed to escape from a high-security prison. Pursuing him relentlessly is his estranged daughter, Erica, whose duty as a law enforcer is complicated by their complex personal history. Their intense game of cat and mouse dominates the plot, creating a gripping dynamic filled with tension and psychological depth.

New characters, such as Cloarec & Clemence, brings fresh intrigue to the story, adding layers to an already intricate narrative. However, the book ends on a nerve-wracking cliffhanger—one that does not seem to promise good fortune for Erica. While this left me eager for the next installment, it was also frustrating to be left hanging at such a pivotal moment.

One of the book’s standout elements is its global scope, which adds a sense of urgency and high stakes as international law enforcement, including Interpol and various police forces, become involved. The constant shift in locations enhances the story’s intensity, making it a fast-paced and thoroughly enjoyable read. I cannot wait to see what happens next in the series.

Thank you Netgalley, Storm Publishing & Gregg Dunnett for this arc!

Thank you NetGalley, Storm Publishing and author, Gregg Dunnett for the arc!

Whoa. Holy cliffhanger, Batman!!

This is book three in the DCI Erica Sands series and it’s been a great ride so far! Each book has been a captivating page turner for me! It’s a fast-paced police crime drama featuring a strong female detective who juggles solving cases while living in the shadow of her notorious serial killer father.

This one is split up into parts and at first I couldn’t figure out why part 2 seemed to start a whole new story … hmmm, head scratcher. Then all of a sudden … I wasn’t wondering anymore! There are some great twists and suspenseful moments in this latest journey of Erica’s as it races it’s way to the mother of all cliffhangers!! Excited to see what comes next!

My suggestion for this series is to read the books in order to watch Erica’s story unfold and follow the storyline better >>> The Cove, The Trap, The Hunt

Wow this is a real page turner, but only to be expected having read all of Gregg's previous books. It's full of twists and turns and you still don't get all of the answers! I would highly recommend this book to everyone.

This book initially gripped me. Then, half way through it changed tack altogether and seemed to be a completely different book. It took a long time for the connection between the two stories to be clear and then, all of a sudden the book was finished and I was left with more questions than answers. It honestly frustrated me.

The Hunt kept me on the edge of my seat from start to finish! Erica Sands is such a compelling protagonist, and her personal connection to the case adds so much emotional weight to the story. I was really drawn into her relentless pursuit of her father, a serial killer, and the mystery surrounding his disappearance. The twists were unpredictable, and the investigation led to some truly chilling moments. I especially enjoyed how Erica’s instincts were put to the test, as well as the tension between her and the mysterious figures around her. The pacing was tight, and I couldn’t wait to see how everything would unfold. It lost half a star for a couple of predictable moments, but overall, it’s a thrilling, heart-pounding ride! Highly recommend for fans of psychological thrillers!

Thank you to Netgalley and Storm Publishing for an early copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I loved this book and could not put it down. I read it in one sitting, I had to know what would happen. I would definitely recommend this book.

This was a very compelling story of a daughter trying to prevent her father from killing. Some very good characters and a story that was fast moving. The story goes on as we wait for. the next book in the series.

Book three in this series and it is advisable to read the first two as they give you a better understanding of the main character Erica Sands and how she operates, not only in trying to organise her team at the station but also seek justice and avenge her father. This story is roughly in 3 parts deftly drawn together at the end with an explosive finish and now I can't wait until book 4 !! Overall 4.5*

Thanks to Netgalley/Storm for the ARC to review.

This was just OK for me. It wasn't awful and definitely held my attention, but I didn't find it exceptional or exciting. There were no big twists or turns until the end; I was not expecting the ending at all. I will read more by this author but maybe not this series.

would like to thank netgalley and the publishers for letting me read this book

did it really have to end that way.....omg......

have to say i was drawn right into this storyline though part two was like a different book and storyline... not really sure it was needed as the rest of the book was where you wanted to be....

erica sands a DCI who was on the hunt for her murderous father charler sterling.... a serial killer

but when he manages to escape prison and evade capture erica becomes obsessed with finding him.....

have to say there were elements i loved and some i wasnt quite keen on but man that ending .....gonna have to wait for that book to find out what happens

DI Sands father has escaped from prison. He is apparently dead but Sands needs to find out the truth. Full of twist that come together well. Though I've not read the first two book this did not stop me from enjoying this excellent story. Good characters and well paced. Thanks to Storm publishing and Netgalley for this review ARC.

Loved this one! As always, a great continuation in the Erica Sands series. There's a cliffhanger, but I was pleasantly surprised at the way the different narrative threads wove together to build a cohesive mystery!

Wel mae hwn yn cychwyn yn llawn cyffro, mae rhan gyntaf y llyfr yn symud yn gyflym, ar ras wrth i ni ddilyn taith y DCI Sands wrth iddi geisio canfod i ble mae ei thad, un o'r troseddwyr enwocaf erioed, wedi mynd ar ôl iddo ddianc o'r carchar. Mae'r llyfr yn rhan o gyfres ac er mwyn cael gwerthfawrogi datblygiad y cymeriadau'n llawn dw i'n credu bod angen darllen y llyfrau blaenorol gan nad oes cyfle yn y nofel hon i edrych yn ddwfn ar y cymeriadau gyda'r stori'n datblygu'n gyflym iawn. Pan gyrhaeddais yr ail ran roeddwn ychydig yn ddryslyd, yn teimlo fel fy mod wedi pigo llyfr hollol wahanol a dechrau darllen hwnnw, roedd cyflymder y stori yn arafach yma ac roeddwn yn teimlo ychydig yn rhwystredig gan fy mod yn ysu i gael gwybod beth oedd wedi digwydd ar ôl tro yn y gynffon ar ddiwedd y rhan gyntaf! Ond fe ddaeth y stori at ei gilydd a daeth cliwiau bach i'r amlwg gan gysylltu ffawd yr holl gymeriadau. Stori sy'n llawn tensiwn, yn mynd ar garlam o un wlad i'r llall ac o un digwyddiad i un arall. Heb ddatgelu beth yw diwedd y stori.... mae'n rhaid dweud y bydd yn rhaid darllen beth bynnag ddaw nesaf.....

Well this one starts full of action, the first part of the book is fast-paced, as we hurriedly follow the journey of DCI Sands as she tries to find where her father, one of the most notorious criminals ever, has gone after an escape from prison. This book is part of a series and to fully appreciate the character development I do feel you need to read the first two since there's no time in this novel to understand the characters fully with such a fast-paced plot. When I reached the second part, I was a little confused, and I felt like I had picked up a different book to read, the pace was a little slower here and I must admit I felt a little frustrated as I was desperate to know what would happen after quite a twist at the end of the first part! But the story came together and little clues emerged creating links between the fates of all the characters. A story full of tension, racing from one country to another and from one event to another. Without ruining the ending... I must say I'll have to read whatever comes next....

DCI Erica Sands is on the hunt for her serial killer father, he escaped prison and died....or did he?
There were a few stories happening here and I enjoyed watching the author tie them all together into one solvable puzzle.
A wonderfully suspenseful story, I really hadn't figured it out until the what the...moment.
I normally hate cliff hangers actually I still do, when's the next book.

DCI Erica Sands is looking for a horrible man who escaped jail and is on the run. Charles Sterling was one of the mist high- profile mass murderers ever caught in the UK and Sands is obsessed with catching this man who also happens to be her father. Pierre Cloarec and Clemence Girard are journalists who are investigating a law firm that helps bad people launder their money.  And who may have also helped Sterling move his crypto currency around in order to make a new life as a new man, or so he thought.

The Hunt will have you chasing the truth even though the twists and turn will keep you guessing until the end.

Thank you Netgalley and
Storm Publishing for this jem!

The Hunt by author Gregg Dunnett is the 3rd book in the thrilling DCI Erica Sands series. The hunt of the title is Erica trying to catch her father Charles Sterling, the serial killer who escaped from prison. He’s beyond dangerous and no one knows where he is. On the one hand, because he’s her father Erica might have some insight about where he is or what his plans are; on the other hand, he’s a serial killer, not a random dad. He’s unpredictable. Add in the fact that he won’t hesitate to harm or even kill Erica if she gets in his way and author Dunnett has created a spellbinding story that is non-stop action, full of unexpected twists and under a cloud of danger and evil from start to finish.

The pace of The Hunt is fast and exciting. Every time I thought I had finally guessed what Sterling’s next move would be and where Erica would have to dash off to next to try and intercept him, the story took another turn and I was back to square one with my guesses. Plan to be riveted to the book as soon as you start reading it; it will grab you and not let go right up until the shocking ending.

Thanks to Storm Publishing for providing an advance copy of The Hunt via NetGalley. I voluntarily leave this review; all opinions are my own.

This one was a surprise that snuck up on me and smacked me in the face. The ending of this book is something you will be talking about for a long time to come. No, I will not tell the end or any of it's tid bits. I will tell you that this is another book about Erica Sands who is a detective in England. She has another case that one of her detectives was in charge of. Detective Karim had a case of a woman who had fallen down the stairs at her home in the middle of the night and was now in a coma and had a broken back. Her neighbor said that she had heard a very loud argument between the two occupants. The case goes on from there. Next up was for her was to be drilled by her superintendent, Yorke. He is asking her about the case against Charles Sterling one of the worst mass murders ever caught in the UK. Unfortunately he had escaped from prison the year before. She then was told that interpol has the case and the name is officer Jonathan Briggs.

Sands takes a leave of obscene and goes out on her own to track down Charles Sterling. As she is getting very close she has been in contact with a bartender named Jacques. This turned into the meet and oh my gosh moment of Erica Sands' life or maybe her death...... you will have to read and find out for yourself!

Happy Reading!
