Publisher's summary

Hoping to escape unwanted celebrity in the aftermath of a notorious incident, Ramsey Hunt settles in the Rockies, determined to bury himself in the safety of a solitary existence. But his isolation is shattered when he stumbles upon a small girl unconscious in the high-altitude forest.

When strangers pursue Ramsey to his private meadow in an attempt to kill him and the girl, he's mystified that anyone would wish her harm. And the child can't shed any light on the subject: she's mute.

Molly Santera, the girl's mother, catches up with Ramsey and her daughter, mistaking her daughter's savior for a kidnapper. But soon Ramsey's real role becomes clear. With the strangers in pursuit, the trio flees to Chicago for sanctuary. Even there, however, the child's enemies prove as relentless as their motives are baffling.

With an unexpected assist from FBI agents Dillon Savich and Lacey Sherlock (last seen in The Maze), Molly and Ramsey begin to unravel the clues, and in the process they make an astonishing discovery as to the true nature of the target.

Critic reviews

"Coulter, who doesn't stint on humor or romance, keeps readers guessing." ( Booklist)
"A blend of romance, mystery, and excitement." ( Fort Worth Daily Sun)

Enjoyed

The Target was a great story. It got a bit long in some parts but all in all the story line was great. There was suspense, romance, character building and a semi-surprise ending. Although not my favorite in the series, I would not bypass it.

Love these thrillers

Very good book. I like the performance better when done by guy & girl but over all it was great!

The Diabolical Father

As usual I cant stop listening to these thrillers. I just love the plot and the characters and Especially the sweet little girl that stole her hero's heart. It kept me on the edge of my seat. I just love the Savages in your books. Your characters are so real to me.

A Fun Ride

I’ve always enjoyed Catherine Coulter books, and this one was no exception! Her characters are fun, and for me personally, I feel like she draws you in to the lives of the characters so well and in such a subtle way, that pretty soon you find yourself interjected and part of the story yourself!
Personally I could do without the graphic sex scenes, that are so unbelievably redundant and I would think that would be obvious to all authors, but apparently not because they keep filling up good story space with ridiculous details that nobody wants to hear about over and over!
It’s kind of like “Been there, done that, bought the T-Shirt”, now let’s move on and start using your God given creativity and talent on some captivating scenes, not the Monday morning newsflash: that yet once again, the characters are going at it again, hurry it up and get back to the story PPPLLEASSE!!
Other than the ridiculously overdone sex scenes, which is truly just the author in a block, so they fill it with that! No thanks. Start showing your true talents! But other than that I do enjoy her books and this one was fun! Thank you

This is the last one in this series that I will read

There are a lot of good things about this book. However, the last third of the book ruined me on both this book and the author. I blame the editors for not being honest with the author. There were far too many attempts to keep the story alive for no real reason. Also, some of the random statements were not accurate. For example, only X number of people could make a shot from X yards. No, deer hunters do it all the time. The character development is good so the author clearly has talent but I can’t make myself read another one of these books.

Target

I enjoyed the story and the twist at the end. Ramsay’s and Mollys relationship was obvious but Emma story was interesting and filled with resilience

Loved it

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Yes

Any additional comments?

I enjoyed the story and all it's char

EXCELLENT

This was well written, start to finish. I didn't realize I had not read this until I started reading another book with Judge Dredd in it.

Good book, but needs better narrator

I really like Catherine Coulter's FBI series. I loved the fact Savitch and Sherlock are included, since they are my favorite characters. Not happy with the narration; all the men sounded like women. There were multiple times the 2 main characters conversed and I couldn't tell when they switched! So glad the next has a different narrator

Slow but with Firecrackers

The story begins a bit slowly and is even a bit hoaky but evens out with much fun and plenty of mystery. As always with Coulter, the characters personality shines through the rather fantastical storyline. I loved it and even though I had my suspicions, the ending caught me by surprise.
