4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent, fast-reading mystery, 4 Aug 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Hunt Club (Paperback)
I've read all of Bret Lott's books and it's always fun to see somebody stretch their wings. This is, to my knowledge, Lott's first whodunit and I was on the edge of my proverbial seat.

Now, I'll admit I don't read a lot of mysteries. But Lott's interesting speech pattern for the book's hero, Huger Dillard, was so unique, it was like you were reading the transcript of a tape recording and when I did have to put the book down I felt like I was being cheated. There's a movie here, you can just feel it.

Unlike some of the people who have reviewed this book on this website, I didn't see the end coming for a minute. But then again, maybe that's because I don't read mysteries much.

This book just proves what I've known for a while now--Bret Lott is a hell of a good writer and I would say that even if I hadn't known the guy since high school.

1.0 out of 5 stars Lott is no mystery writer., 28 July 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Hunt Club (Paperback)
When a murderer goes to the trouble of doctoring his corpse to prevent dental or fingerprint identification and then leaves a note identifying the victim, something is fishy. But no character questions this odd discrepancy. Where are the real police in this story, the ones who should be investigating the murder? This is just the first of many unrealistic details throughout the book. When the real villain and murderer finally reveals himself, he talks too much. I suppose this is Lott's way of letting the reader in on what the point of this tiresome tale has been, but even as the villain himself says, it was just boring old money.

1.0 out of 5 stars Overrated, 9 May 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Hunt Club (Paperback)
In my opinion, The Hunt Club does not measure up to the great reviews it has received. The descriptions of South Carolina may be enjoyable, especially to locals, but the plot drags in the second half and the characters are not quite believable. Bret Lott compared to John Grisham? Based on this book, the only Lott title I've read, there's no way!

3.0 out of 5 stars A moderately good rite of passage novel
The novel grabs one;you want to know what is going to happen. This is a rite of passage novel, an Odyssey, with some unique turns. It could have been much better. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Very good but sluggish second half. . .
Bret Lott is a great writer, very lyrical and fluid. It's a joy to read his writing -- to an extent. Read more
