About this listen

It's time to finish what he started... A young girl is snatched in broad daylight from outside her school and later found brutally murdered and hanging from a tree. When recently retired San Francisco Police Inspector, Bob Farrell, sees this on the news, he realises his worst nightmare has just come true. The same brutal killer a government agency stopped him from putting away twenty years before is once more on the loose. As the killer wreaks a trail of blood and destruction across North America, Bob Farrell sets out to track him down. But Farrell's not playing by the rules any more than the killer is, and soon the FBI have both of them in their sights...

A visceral and heart-wrenching cross between No Country For Old Men and Silence of the Lambs, this is an exhilarating debut from a new author who will be thrilling crime fiction fans for many years to come.

Great listen!

I really enjoyed this audio book. It keeps you in suspense, on the edge of your seat so to speak. A bit of humor at the same time that gives you a break from some of the grisly parts. I'm just starting Mr. Lynch's "The fourth motive". Hopefully, there will be a third audio novel from Mr. Lynch!

New Favorite Author. Read This One First, K?

Here's a series that needs starting at the beginning, and this is IT! Wuddan' openert! Here's the private eye that the great authors of the 30s, 40s, and 50s should have imagined if the censors and cultural gatekeepers would have permitted. Bob Farrell is HARD BOILED and his sidekick Kevin Kearns is tougher than a diner's 2 buck blue plate steak.

Yeah, there's a lot of gore, gristle, and groaning in scenes fogged grim in gun smoke and blood spatter. And then there are the rules… Well, that's the point… There ain't no rules. Just vigilante crowbars prying through the thick doors of procedure, hardened steel of judicial precedent, and impregnable cop culture.

I just finished the second in the Farrell/Kearns epic… "The Fourth Motive"... since I couldn't wait to listen to Jeff Harding read these two books in succession. In a lot of ways, "Fourth" is a sequel to "Wounded Prey" and may be a tad better. Which is high praise, I enjoyed "Wounded Prey" that much.

Oh, if you're squeamish, maybe you'd like something else. Fair warning, eh?

Yeah, there're grissley moments here. but unlike some authors who wallow in the stuff (getting off on the cretin's pleasure) you won't find a sadist's high in either "Wounded Prey" or "The Fourth Motive."

Here's tough stuff from a new favorite author of mine.

Awesome Gritty Renegade Cop Story

I'm often critical and turned off when an author's main detective character goes rogue. But Lynch creates a believable scenario where his retired cop had special knowledge of who the killer was from his tour in Vietnam 20 years earlier. The Iowa police are stymied because they have no knowledge of who the killer is and how to find him. All they know is out of nowhere a man abducted an 8 year old girl in front of 20 witnesses and shot and killed her teacher.

There's so much more, including humorous run ins with an overbearing, tactless FBI agent who is repeatedly thwarted from getting involved in the case. Suffice to say there is good reason why the police and FBI cannot be the best chance of finding te killer.

Jeff Harding seems new to me as a narrator. I should have researched him in my library before this writing. He delivers an outstanding performance, one of the best I've encountered.

Be prepared to be on the edge of your seat from the opening chapter on this one.

Good Story but Narrator Not Great

The story was interesting - though a bit precidtable. The parts with the children were graphic and gruesome. It would take a strong stomach to watch this on screen.
The narrator was OK but his inflection at the end of each and every sentence was grating. It was appropriate at sometimes but everytime??
Listen to the story but tune out the gory details and learn to tune out the sound at the end of each sentence.

Move over Harry Bosch

I enjoy Jeff Harding's narration style (which is how I actually found this book) and he's done a great job here.

Good story line and set-up perfectly for more books in the series.

Keep them coming

This book will keep you at the end of your seat. I will not give away the plot. Once you listen to this book, you must listen to the second one. Sean Lynch and audible please keep them coming.
