Good Man Hunting

StoreyBook Reviews 

Author – Lisa Landolt
Publisher – Avon A, a division of Harper Collins
Published – 2008

This is the first novel for attorney Lisa Landolt, and what a splash she made with this work of fiction.

Sandra Greene is 21 and works in a pizza parlor in Dallas. She doesn’t have many friend, no boyfriend and she just isn’t sure where her life is going. Then she attends the wedding for her friend Annette and meets the women of the Hunt Club. The Hunt Club appears to be a matchmaking club but on a higher scale than others, their motto is that no one is unobtainable.

So Sandra jumps in and becomes a part of the club and is lucky to have her name be drawn as the next single woman that will be helped make a match. Sandra sets her sights on Mike Warren, an actor from a television show that she watched all of the time growing up. All seems to be going well, they are put into a situation where they can meet and get to know each other and it turns out they have more in common than she would have ever guessed.

All goes well until she is flying back from Hawaii and is stopped at security by the FBI wanting to know about the Hunt Club and did she know that they were killing people?

From here the book becomes even more fast paced and there are some surprise twists that even I didn’t expect…they made it hard to put the book down until I finished the last few chapters.

All in all this was a very enjoyable book and it is a little bit chick lit with some suspense thrown in to keep you on the edge of your seat!

(of course it doesn’t hurt that I know the author from college but I would still write this review because the book was really good!)
