Publisher's Summary

Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of The Hunt by Oscar de Muriel, a Christmas tale from the world of Frey and McGray, read by Andy Secombe.

Christmas, 1888. After a thoroughly trying time in Edinburgh, Inspector Ian Frey looks forward to a Christmas break at his family's country estate back in England. But the welcome respite of home cooking, hunting trips and brandy by the fire is ruined by the arrival of an unwelcome guest....

Features an exclusive extract from A Fever of the Blood - the brilliant new Case for Frey and McGray, which publishes in February 2016.

This is not a story...

A vignette, an anecdote maybe, but not a story. Sure, there's a plot, a series of events. There a characters who take action, but there is no goal, no inciting incident, and only the slightest protagonist/antagonist interaction. I suspect it was a chapter edited out of one of the books that has been sold separately with a teaser for the 2nd book. I don't mind that much, because I enjoy the books, but if you are new to the series, don't start here. Book 4 is very good, as is book 3. Leave this one until you're hooked on the series.
