    About this audiobook

    Get hooked on Heck: the maverick detective who knows no boundaries. A grisly whodunit you won’t be able to put down, perfect for fans of Stuart MacBride and TV series ‘Luther’.

    Heck needs to watch his back. Because someone’s watching him…

    Across the south of England, a series of bizarre but fatal accidents are taking place. So when a local businessman survives a near-drowning but is found burnt alive in his car just weeks later, DS Mark ‘Heck’ Heckenburg is brought in to investigate.

    Soon it appears that other recent deaths might be linked: two thieves that were bitten to death by poisonous spiders, and a driver impaled through the chest with scaffolding.

    Accidents do happen but as the body count rises it’s clear that something far more sinister is at play, and it’s coming for Heck too…

      I wasn't quite sure what to expect with The Hunted, it being by far the earliest of Elmore Leonard's books that I've read, in addition to being one of his somewhat lesser known ones, but the style that I'm familiar with (from Glitz and Get Shorty) was definitely there.

      I got confused at a few points regarding setting and geography, but I'm guessing that's my lack of experience with big cities, let alone Israel, more than anything. In addition, I couldn't help but think about Davis (my pick for the best character): would a Marine really get involved with this kind of stuff, these kinds of people? But then: does it really matter in a story like this?

      There is a line during the ending sequence (which was great, and more than a little Western-like) that I think really sums up Elmore Leonard action scenes and endings, from what I can tell. It is the start of a chapter, and it goes like this, verbatim:

      (TWO THINGS WERE HAPPENING at the same time.)
    • 3/5
      Really odd early Leonard set in Israel. He uses real, recognizable settings to tell a simple tale.
    • 4/5
      As a resident of metro Detroit since 1967 and an avid mystery fan, I've long admired Elmore Leonard's work.But this novel isn't set in Detroit, or even in the US. It's set in Israel, but with a primarily American cast of characters. Good read, though it's not one of Elmore's best.
    • 2/5
      I read Up In Honey's Room earlier this year and thought it was one of his worst books - well this is slightly worse than that ! Please try any other one (Rum Punch, Glitz, Out of Sight, Freaky Deaky or Touch spring to mind) before going for this one. Although the spaghetti western style standoff ending is quite good the characters don't stand out and the early plot is quite confused and jumps around.
    • 2/5
      This one was a disappointment. There are no characters developed well enough for me to get interested in them. The story is only moderately interesting without a reason to care what happens to any of the characters. The writing is competent, the sequence of events is laid out clearly, but there's just no reason to care.
