The Lion, The Lamb, The Hunted

A Patrick Bannister Psychological Thriller, Book 1

De: Andrew E. Kaufman

Narrado por: Luke Daniels

She only stepped outside for a minute… But a minute was all it took to turn Jean Kingsley’s world upside down - a minute she’d regret for the rest of her life. Stepping into her worst nightmare…Because when she returned, she found an open bedroom window and her three-year-old son, Nathan, gone. The boy would never be seen again. A nightmare that only got worse. A tip eventually leads detectives to their killer, a repeat sex offender, and inside his apartment, a gruesome discovery. A slam-dunk trial sends him off to death row, then several years later, to the electric chair. Case closed. Justice served…or was it?

Now, more than 30 years later, Patrick Bannister unwittingly stumbles across evidence among his dead mother’s belongings. It paints her as the killer and her brother, a wealthy and powerful senator, as the one pulling the strings. What really happened to Nathan Kingsley? There’s a hole in the case a mile wide, and Patrick is determined to close it. But what he doesn’t know is that the closer he moves toward the truth, the more he’s putting his life on the line, that he’s become the hunted.

Never a dull moment

Loved it. Sitting on the edge of my seat at the end. Laughing, crying and waiting for more.

Awful Narration

This narrator performed am Orson Wells theatrical number. It's a crime story. It was so ridiculous. Took a lot away from the story, which was decent.

Good captivating story

While I believe the surprise ending was telegraphed in advance, I appreciate the construction of the story line and the well rounded characterization of the protagonist.
The narration was good, yet the southern (Texan) accent was a bit overdone

Great escape

I have been enjoying Mini Mystery stories comma I really enjoyed this one. I also enjoyed very much that sex was not in this novel. I could listen to it with the whole family.

There Are No Secrets

Would you listen to The Lion, The Lamb, The Hunted again? Why?

No. Well told story but abuse never gets a second listen from me.

If you’ve listened to books by Andrew E. Kaufman before, how does this one compare?

This was good a exposure from an Audible sale. These sales are great for members to get an introduction to a new author or to even give a second shot to an author as their tastes change or matures

Have you listened to any of Luke Daniels’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Note : I do use the new 1.25 x speed to match the author's intent.
Yes in the Elvis Cole series by Robert Crais. This reader has developed a fuller range and he impressed me with his deeper voice e.g. The FBI friend. He is not on my seek out reader list yet, but I at least l don't pass by his reads now.
>HIs brother James Danials who reads many of the older Crais books is on my top 5 males reader's which makes it doubly hard for this reader to join him. It will take just the right series as he is almost there for me.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Yes when Patrick young girl school mate comes to his rescue with the Jacket squad.
This was well edited and even though I had somewhat guessed the end, you are still compelled to want to find out the real truth.
