We might have been monsters, but maybe everyone had a monster within them. Our job was to be sure those monsters slept.
The Hunter's Daughter is a story about Anna (Elena) who is the daughter of the infamous serial killer, The Forest Strangler. Now an adult, and with no memory of her childhood or who her real father is thanks to therapy, Anna works as a lieutenant detective who is battling with her own inner struggles and turmoils while investigating horrific crimes. When a string of murders begin unfolding in her jurisdiction that are eerily similar to those of the Forest Strangler, Anna finds herself uncovering more clues than just those surrounding the murders. Is the Forest Strangler back and again carrying out his dark ritualistic killings? Or is there a new monster who has now decided to copy the Strangler's horrific MO in a new series of killings? Anna must race to uncover who the killer is, while also working to re ember her own past and the monsters that haunted it.
I really enjoyed this story. The characters were likeable, the writing kept me up way too late most nights, and there were a good number of twists I didn't see coming. I'd give The Hunter's Daughter 4.25/5 because I was able to figure out a few of the twists before they were revealed, but overall it was a great time.
Thank you to NetGalley and Nicola Solvenic for providing me this ARC of The Hunter's Daughter to read and review.
