Review for 'Hunter' by Michael Fowler
Read and reviewed via NetGalley for Sapere Books
This is the first book that I have read by this author. This book is the prequel to the 'DS Hunter Kerr' series so can be read as a standalone or before reading the series. I am looking forward to reading more of his books.
I was originally drawn to this book by its intriguing cover and blurb. I must admit I also chose it as my son's name is Hunter 😂. I'm glad I did as it is a fantastic read and the blurb and cover work well with it.
This novel consists of 26 chapters which are relatively short in length so perfect for 'just one more chapter', like that ever happens for me, more like 3 or 4 more!!
'Hunter' is set in England which is always a bonus for me. I'm from Wales but visit England regularly on trips and holidays so have visited quite a few areas. This helps me picture places if they are mentioned in books and I have visited them.
The first chapter made me laugh. Roger is fab character and funny. Great to see some humour in a crime book as I feel its always good to lighten it up a bit and have a few laughs sometimes too.
Nice to read a crime book where the main character is on his probationary period, plus the fact that he is only 19 years old makes it quite unique.
A fantastic well written plot and storyline that engaged me from the start. Excellent descriptions put me right in the storyline.
Filled with suspense, drama, action, crime, murder and mystery 'Hunter' is a gripping page turner.
Love the well developed characters, all were strong and believable. I am looking forward to reading more about them in the rest of the 'DS Hunter Kerr' series.
I would recommend this book to fans of crime, murder, mystery, detective books, suspense, thrillers and anyone looking for a great read.
220 pages
Free on Kindle Unlimited or £2.99 to purchase. I think this is a bargain for this book.
Rated 5/5 (I loved it ) on Goodreads, Instagram, Amazon UK and Amazon US and on over 30 Facebook pages plus my blog on Facebook.
Feel free to add me on Goodreads for more reviews

Really enjoyed this book. As this book is a prequel to the Hunter Kerr series I have read it first. It didn’t take me long to read it, I couldn’t put it down. I honestly can’t wait to read the rest of them now. Literally say with Heart of the Demon ready to start now. Can’t wait to see where these books go and to follow hunter on his journey.

Hunter Kerr’s first case is more deadly than he could have ever imagined…
Barnwell, Yorkshire, 1991
Fresh out of police training school, Hunter Kerr is immediately thrown into a world of unimaginable terror.
With the murder of his girlfriend troubling his conscience, Hunter joined the police force to help find her killer.
Posted to his home-town, Hunter soon finds himself in the thick of it; a serial killer is on the loose and Hunter is needed on the case.
It is Hunter’s initiation into the harsh world of policing and nothing has prepared him for what he is about to face…
HUNTER is a DS Hunter Kerr Investigations prequel: a chilling serial killer police procedural thriller set in Yorkshire.
This is a brilliant read.
Wonderful well written plot and story line that had me engaged from the start.
Love the well fleshed out characters and found them believeable.
Great suspense and action with wonderful world building that adds so much to the story.
Can't wait to read more of these.
Recommend reading.
I was provided an ARC from NetGalley and the publisher. This is my own honest voluntary review.

Enjoyed this Hunter Kerr prequel, I read it before I start on the three book series. Well written, easy to follow and full of both criminal activity and the police responses to each. Good "Crime" thriller from Michael Fowler

Him Hunter, Me Happy.
It is good to know the story origins of a favored character. This book is only my second experience with Hunter Kerr and I am happy to learn there are more Hunter Kerrs to investigate.
