Publisher's summary

From the award-winning author of Trace of Evil, a detective dealing with the scars of her past must solve a seemingly unconnected string of murders, and face the impossible question of what to do when the killer may be hiding amongst the ones you know, in Alice Blanchard's The Wicked Hour

“Lockhart is a relatable new heroine on the police-procedural scene, and one who will appeal to readers of Tana French." (Booklist)

The day after Burning Lake’s notorious, debauched Halloween celebration, Detective Natalie Lockhart uncovers a heartbreaking scene - a young woman, dead and lying in a dumpster. There’s no clue to who she is, save for a mystifying tattoo on her arm, and a callus underneath her chin. She’s not from around here. No one knows who she is.

As Natalie retraces the young woman’s steps leading up to her death, she uncovers a deeper, darker horror - a string of murders and disappearances, seemingly unconnected, that may have ties to each other - and explain the abrupt disappearance of her best friend years ago.

As she digs deeper within the mind of the hunter, Natalie finds a darkness she could never have imagined. And as she draws closer to the truth, the killer is weaving a trap for her that may prove inescapable.

Better than book one

Narrator for this book was excellent. Made all the difference in the world for listening pleasure and clarity of the book.

Wrong Guy

Hunter? Really? I loved it up until that last closing part. It was well written. Except for that last closing part. Just, nope.

Don’t waste your time; you can’t finish the series

The story was good, the publisher is indifferent to Ms. Blanchard’s followers. The rest of this series is not available as audiobooks, something I require due to vision problems. Why bother building a fan base, then dropping them? Very frustrating.
