The book description does not mess around when it claims to be a modern ‘The Fugitive’, I found myself thinking that often while I listened to this audiobook.
The biggest manhunt began after 600 of America’s most violent criminals pour out of the Pronghorn Correctional Facility into the Nevada dessert. But one of the escapees, John Kradle, views this as a chance to show that he is innocent and takes the opportunity the prison break has given him to find the man who killed his wife and son.
Celine Osbourne, Death Row Supervisor is on the hunt – for Kradle. She knows where he is going, and she is going to be there to nab him. She has her own personal issues for wanting to bring him in! US Marshal Trinity Parker is also on the hunt to bring in as many escapees that she can. She is not too happy that Celine Osbourne is also out there hunting. One could say these two women were on a collision course for a cat fight.
At first, I struggled a little with this book. It did take some time for me to get fully invested in it. There is a lot going on in the beginning with the escapes and the organizing of the manhunt. But I did get there. John Kradle was my favorite character and I rooted for him, fingers crossed that he would not get caught or come to any harm. Plus, I wanted to know who the killer was and would the shady detective work ever be called out.
After my initial struggle with this book, The Chase turned out to be a fun, gripping, fast paced and entertaining book. If you enjoy movies such as ‘The Fugitive’ or shows like ‘Prison Break’ this book may be right up your alley.
**Does narrator, Lisa Negron sound like Kathy Bates at times or is it just me?
