About this listen

From the creator of the TV show Bones, The Seminarian is a twisty murder mystery perfect for fans of Janet Evanovich and Carl Hiaasen.

Xavier “Priest” Priestly is a snarky former seminarian turned private investigator. Dusty Queen is a hard-as-nails professional stuntwoman and freelance bodyguard. When Dusty’s girlfriend suddenly disappears, a woman in a strange blue wig tries to assassinate Priest, and a twelve-year-old boy shows up claiming to be his son, the two friends are thrown into a maelstrom of intrigue and high-stakes violence that’s as convoluted and dangerous as it is hilarious.

Thankfully, Priest and Dusty don’t have to navigate these tangled mysteries alone. Aided by a lawyer who’s underwhelmed by their extra-legal methods, a straight-laced detective who doesn’t trust them as far as he can throw them, and Priest’s father, a notorious bank robber, they are well equipped to deal with potential kidnapping and attempted murder. But whether Priest is up to the challenge of a son with a gun, a backpack full of weed, and a major attitude problem … well, that’s a different story.

With its unforgettable cast, parade of twists and turns, and breakneck pace, The Seminarian showcases Hart Hanson at his best. Packed with action and glistening with snappy dialogue, surprising tenderness, and (mostly) good people doing some exceptionally bad things, this distinctive thriller is as entertaining as it is insightful.

Hanson achieves what you want in a book like this. To fall headfirst into the story. Keep it going. Need a book two.

Great detail and vivid imagery. You really feel you understand the characters.

I wish this was a series! Super engaging characters with a lot of heart. Sometimes I hate to get emotionally invested in a standalone book, but this left me with such great closure. A modern day PI story with a full range of characters that was easy enough to follow without being too simple.

Loved it!

I saw the review about this being an open ending and how they thought it was not a good thing....I on the other hand am thrilled it could be a series!! This was a fun ride that left me wanting more. Hopefully I will not have to wait to long. The characters were interesting and I actually liked them. The plot was very engaging and clever ..I liked how there was A LARGE gray area for right and wrong. I found myself being amused by the references that were peppered throughout the story line...K-POP...I am hopeful there will be another one following this one.

A treat to listen to.

Did not resonate at all. Seemed to have all of the components of a good story. Just didn’t work. Absolutely no interest in any of the characters or their issues. I was so bored and distracted that I actually missed a murder.

Lack of forward momentum.

This fun, rollicking story will keep you listening. Similar to Carl Hiaason books, it’s filled with colorful characters, bizarre coincidences, and crazy antics. The narration by Evan Sibley is excellent. He brings each of the characters to life with spot-on voices. He’s the perfect sort of narrator - easy to listen to and follow the story, so that you forget about the narrator and get totally caught up in the drama. Highly recommend this book!

Great story, great narration

I want a sequel. And they better bring back the same narrator because the performance was one of my favorites I’ve ever listened to

More please!

Great listen except the end which is disappointingly set up for a sequel. This could have been an awesome book.

Great storyline but…

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Unusual and humorous outlook on fictional criminal acts and their consequences, including prison. Endearing relationships between the main characters. Fervently wish narrator had researched pronunciation of the numerous southern California cities that were in the book, as most were pronounced incorrectly.

Humorous Outlook on Criminal Acts
