About this listen
'Twas the night before Christmas…and dozens of rich, influential hostages are trapped inside a sprawling lakefront mansion in New Orleans. The perp? Detective Reed Ware, model cop turned outlaw. After receiving a panicked call from Hollis "Holly" Bayard, a teenage street tough with a penchant for amateur sleuthing who stumbles upon the scene of a drug-deal-turned-murder, Ware finds his and his friend's lives in dire danger. The crime Holly witnessed could be the biggest police cover-up this side of New Orleans - and no one's talking.
Driven to desperate measures to uncover the truth, Ware stages a coup at a Christmas party for the New Orleans elite, including the mayor, the council chairman, the sheriff, and the superintendent of police, who just happens to be hostage negotiator Caroline Wallace's estranged father. Cool, calm, controlled. That's Caroline's reputation.
But when she's brought in to talk Ware off the proverbial ledge, she realizes no amount of false promises is going to placate this man, who looks even hotter than he did years ago when 17-year-old Caroline tried to seduce him. It was his duty to protect her family then. Now it's her turn…if she can think fast enough over the pounding of her heart. When Caroline becomes wrapped up in the drama, it's clear the sizzling tension she shared with Ware never let up. And the harder she tries to defuse the situation, the more she begins to wonder whose side she's really on.

Story
With an ailing mother to care for, Lisa Grant takes the first job she can find: research assistant to District Attorney Scott Buchanan. What Lisa expects to be a mind-numbingly boring task turns into anything but when a missing-persons case draws her attention. The details of the case are engrossing: an entire family — father, mother, and two children — disappeared without a trace more than 28 years ago. Except that’s not all: the mother in a photo Lisa finds could be her own twin.

Now she finds herself lying bound and gagged on her kitchen floor, staring with terrified eyes at her friend Lisa while two masked gunmen search her house for - what? She doesn't know. She knows only that, unless they can escape, whatever it is they are searching for could end up getting both her and Lisa killed.

In "Hunted," an implausible but ultimately enjoyable premise sets the stage for the couple-on-the-run storyline: a "rogue" New Orleans cop takes the mayor and other bigwigs hostage, and winds up kidnapping the pretty hostage negotiator who had a crush on him when she was a teenager. There's chemistry between them, a bayou to hide in, a fishing shack with a single narrow bed, and one appealing side character who is conveniently moved aside by the plot just in time for things to heat up between H/h.
In other words, this is the Karen Robards I've relied on for fast, sexy suspense tales like Paradise County, Bait, etc. No fan of the paranormal, I was more than pleased to spend a credit on this enjoyable return to the genre Robards writes so well.
Nicely performed by male and female narrators, who alternate chapters as the book alternates between male and female points-of-view. The actress is quite good (she also narrates the audiobook of Gillian Flynn's brilliant noir novel, "Gone Girl." The actor is good as well, although I wasn't crazy about the way he voiced the female character. Both narrators do pretty well with hero Reed's N'awlins cajun accent. In contrast to the previous Robards' audiobook, "The Last Victim," these narrators sound like grown-ups. A huge relief.
More like this one, please, Ms. Robards. It's this kind of book, not a flirtation with paranormal romance, that will keep you on my auto-buy list!
Robards is back, minus the paranormal. Yay!

The narrator for Reid was truly amazing. The ability to completely be Reid raised in the bayou and the moved into military service, return home and join NOPD stunned me. Even when Reid and Caroline were hiding in his fishing camp, I noticed his speaking became more reflective of his area. (I have friends from NO who also grew up in the bayou who fall into their original speech patterns after visiting. I was told they do not realize it was still with them, yet as soon as they return home, the start falling into the pattern.) The narrator for Reid was excellent, I would guess he was Louisiana bayou raised.
Caroline's character narration was just a exceptional.
Her compassion, curiosity, horror, and integrity came through without question.
Both narrators whether speaking or reading, or thinking came across as a play in mind.
Rarely has a narration been done so well that I felt mostly as if I were reading myself!
Today was a Dr and errand day, these are my favorite days for audible novels, preferably thrillers. While I can normally stop books and return once back in the car, or waiting in offices, etc, the narration of a terrific novel kept me listening till the very end.
Thank you to both narrators for my ability to completely become enthralled in an audible novel.
Your work is simply amazing!
The justice you did to Ms Robards book was wonderful.
I am a big fan of this author and you did not ruin this for me, you made me a greater fan.
Thank you!
Karen
Amazing Narration of A Terrific Novel!

However, way to much time was spent on the sexual and relationship angst. It was almost like authorbused it as a filler to make the story longer. I was starting to roll my eyes over Reid and Caroline's going on and on about how they wanted each other but just couldn't have a relationship.

Would you try another book from Karen Robards and/or MacLeod Andrews and Cassandra Campbell ?
Yes. Karen Robards has written a couple of my favorite books. She is definitely a goto author for me. And as for the MacLeod Andrews and Cassandra Campbell team go, I would listen to other books narrated by them. They did a good job with the characters. I'm pretty picky about narrators too. So, that means they were definitely better than most.If you’ve listened to books by Karen Robards before, how does this one compare?
This one was good but not great. The story reminded me a lot of Walking After Midnight which is a favorite of mine. She wrote that one a long time ago and the audio is only available on cassettes. Which is too bad too because I would love to have that one in my library. That book was also about a cop that was being chased by the bad guys and bad cops and he had a kidnapped hostage along for the journey but it had much better story depth to it. I did feel like this one was as well written. I wouldn't mind the same basic plot so much except this story just seem to fall flat. Like it was rushed or something.Did the narration match the pace of the story?
Yes. They did a good jobWhat would have made this romance irresistible?
I'm not sure. But if there had been more to the main character's relationship, that would have helped. I get that they already knew each other but she had been a teenager and it was a long time ago. There could have been a much better build up to saying "I love you" than simply going from 0-60 in 2 seconds.Not the best but not the worst either
