Review: The Trophy Hunter
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 03 27, 2011
The main characters, Diana Martin and her investigator friend Jessica, are well defined - likeable, yet flawed enough to seem real.  Martin has demons of her own that she must overcome as she peels away layer upon layer of secrets and deceit.When a story takes places in a specific place, Denver and an unnamed town in the mountains of Colorado in this case, getting the details right are important.  Zambrano does that.  From the little things, like street names and the feel of certain neighborhoods, to the critical, such as the insular nature of small mountain towns, Zambrano's portrayal rings true.In a thriller characterization and other story elements matter, but are secondary to the plot.  Luckily, "The Trophy Hunter" delivers in this area too.  The twists and turns keep you guessing until the end with an intense climax you won't see coming.**Originally written for "Books and Pals" book blog.**
