About this audiobook
From a national bestselling author: “A classic cat-and-mouse with enough twists to enthrall even the most veteran thriller reader” (David Baldacci).
How well do you really know the person you love? How far would you go to find out?
If there were one person in the world Dr. Lauren Chambers was sure she could rely on, it was her husband, Michael. Slowly recovering from an agoraphobic depression and still prone to episodes of blinding anxiety, the gifted psychologist has depended on his love and support. So when Michael suddenly and mysteriously vanishes, Lauren once again finds herself balancing on a knife’s edge of paranoia.
Is there more to it than paranoia, though? Private investigator Nick Bradley believes so. As the pair takes off on a cross-country journey in search of answers—a search that yields a series of unsettling truths about the husband Lauren believed she knew so well—bestselling author Alan Jacobson sets in motion a page-turning tale of concealed identities, an assassin’s vendetta, and murderous revenge.
A master of the shocking twist and the ingenious turn, Jacobson builds an exhilarating road thriller filled with hairpin turns and unexpected detours as Lauren heads for a face-off with the most dangerous secret of all: the truth. From the author of False Accusations and The Lost Codex, this is “a book that is impossible to put down” (Library Journal).

74 ratings6 reviews
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5The female reader of The Hunted is so unsuitable and so unskilled that I had to abandon this audiobook after 12 chapters. I am probably not alone in this view. I foresee many DNFs.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Laren Chambers' husband never comes home from a ski weekend and the search for him takes one strange turn after another. This is a great story - classic cat and mouse with some witness protection thrown in. There's also a great scene in the beginng where the bad guy does surgery on himself to remove a tracking device - ugh and wow.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Read in October, 2013Listened for Review (Brilliance)Listened to 6 of 11 DisksOverall Rating: DNFAudio Rating: 4.00 (Not part of the overall rating)Why did I DNF?: The Hunted would be loved by my dad! I kept thinking he should be the person reading/reviewing this one. I actually like Alan Jacobson's writing and have enjoyed other books by him. Why didn't it work for me? Holy scattered story batman. Seriously this was just too all over the place for me. About the time I would really get into the story, it would shift gear and pull me right back out. I just never could get a grasp on the story. I did listen to the last CD (so I guess I read 7 out of 11) and loved the way the story tied up (aka the reason for a 2 instead of a 1 for a DNF). I do think that The Hunted will work very well for most people who read a lot in the thriller genre. It just wasn't for me.Audio Thoughts: Narrated By Renee Raudman/Length: 13 hrs and 8 mins Renee is one of my favorite narrators and I really enjoyed her narration of The Hunted. I felt the book warranted two narrators since there were a ton of male characters. Renee did the best she could with that many male voices but there were a few that just didn't work for me. Her pacing, emotion, and styling were fantastic though! I really recommend Renee as a narrator.Final Thoughts: If you are a fan of thrillers consider giving The Hunted a whirl! It might work better for you.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5AWESOME AUDIOBOOK!!! On the edge of my seat the whole time!!! Definitely recommend!!!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5An easy read. A mystery/drama with romance thrown in. Of course everything works out in the end.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Loved Hunted! It was very sexy, hot, steamy, fast paced, and full of suspense! Lots of chemistry between Reed (homicide detective) and Caroline (cop and daughter of police sergeant).
I listened to the audio book and it was right on with the slow southern New Orleans Big Easy accent. I adore Cassandra Campbell and this was my first time listening to MacLeod Andrews (Narrators)-they were a perfect pair –listening to the wee hours of the morning to see how it ended!
Reed lost his ex-wife and son in an accident more than 3 yrs ago and finds himself fired and at the beginning of the book and is holding a mansion full of people hostage. Holly and Ant are two young teen boys he has befriended and he is trying to help them after their mom was murdered. He knows the police had something to do with it and when he explains he was fired. He decides to take matters into his own hands.
Caroline had a crush on Reed more than 10 yrs. earlier when she was a teen. Her attraction for him still exists and now that she is older Reed feels the same. She is sent to the mansion on Christmas Eve and Reed not only escapes – he takes Holly and Caroline with him. Caroline knows Reed is a good cop so she decides to help him. Little does she know at the time, her father is also involved?
Karen Robards is at the top of her game with Hunted and one I would highly recommend – if you hate police corruption – you will love it! Caroline and Reed are strong independent characters and so hot together- Highly recommend!
