Review of Wounded Prey by Sean Lynch
5 stars
I reviewed a complimentary e-book copy provided in return
for my fair and impartial review.
It’s not too uncommon to find a good novel, but it is more
rare to come upon a novel as absorbing as this one, where reading it causes the
external environment to drop away and time to pass without noting it. “Wounded
Prey” is a very disturbing, graphic, violent, terrifying novel; but it is a
novel that deserves a wide readership. Author Sean Lynch has the background in
law enforcement to know the nature of his plotting; but even more importantly,
he is an excellent writer. “Wounded Prey” so riveted me that I could not set it
aside, but simply had to read on to find out the unfolding denouement.
Psychologically and legally, the characters and plot are well-grounded, and
unfortunately all too plausible. I do have to caution that this novel deals
with violence, with sexual offenses against children and adults, and with
horrible child abuse, and heavy substance abuse; so readers who are sensitive
may wish to skip this one. I consider it not just worth the initial reading,
but worthy of re-reading as well. I look for more from author Sean Lynch, as he
has become a must-read author for me.
