THE HUNTRESS is the story about Nina Markova, an female Russian bomber pilot that has joined forces with Ian Graham an English journalist to hunt down a deadly Nazi murderess known as the Huntress. The Huntress managed to get away after several heinous deeds and both Nina and Ian have personal reasons for hunting her down. But how will they find someone they don't even know the name of or have a picture of? Meanwhile in Boston, Jordan McBride is getting to know the woman her father is planning to marry, a German widow who seems to be the perfect woman for Jordan's father, but there is something with her that makes Jordan uneasy...
The very first book I read by Kate Quinn was the great THE ALICE NETWORK and I've been looking forward to reading THE HUNTRESS for some time now. And let me tell you, this book is good really, really good. In my opinion, is it even better than THE ALICE NETWORK . There is just something really compelling with this story that made me so engrossed that I could hardly put it away. For one thing, it's a really thick book, and I'm actually not a big fan of books that are over 500 pages. Unless the author knows how to write a story that works all the way to the end. Kate Quinn knows definitely how to write a story that works all the way. There are three different storylines interwoven and all of them are equally interesting to follow. I also, want to add that Nina Markova is one of the best female characters I've ever read about. She's tough and deadly and she drives poor Ian mad, which is hilarious to read about amides all darkness.
THE HUNTRESS is the perfect book if you want to read and engrossing book about the hunt for an elusive Nazi killer.
