My Review<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This is the best of the Hunter’s series books so far. Val Penny has outdone herself with this one. I’ve been to Edinburgh many times, and the scenes the author paints take me back there. I love her style!

Plot twists and secrets, both past and present, are neatly tied up at the end, making Hunter’s Secret a most satisfying read.<\/span><\/div>\n
