From its heart-wrenching opening to its dazzling surprise of a conclusion, I was riveted by this exciting and absorbing story.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Quinton Bell is a complex character, to say the least. Living a lie to escape his past, he\u2019s endured a lot and is feeling the stress of maintaining his masquerade as a dead man. The author gets us right inside Quinton\u2019s head, and you can almost feel the pressure he\u2019s under, especially with the knowledge that someone out there knows his secret and is using it to toy with him. His legal work is fascinating to read, even the requisite administrative hearings, and the author clearly knows her way around a courtroom and how to convey that to the layperson reader.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Soon into the story, it is revealed that someone knows who Quinton Bell really is, and naturally, he\u2019s spooked. But as days passed and things began to happen, such as the odd sightings of people that quickly disappeared, I, too, started to get the willies. When Quinton said he felt like he was being watched, I knew exactly how he felt. The reader is privy to the thoughts and actions of this stalker but not who is pulling his strings, and when that big reveal happened, I was fully and completely surprised. The story sets up for a next book, and I, for one, am already waiting.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I have to mention the opening sequence, a massive traffic accident on the I-10 between Houston and Katy, was horrifyingly real \u2013 a slow-motion rendering of certain death, critical injuries, and destruction. The author gives the perfect introduction to the main characters involved, so I was immediately engaged and already cared about these people when the scene unfolded.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I recommend HUNTED BY PROXY to mystery and thriller readers who enjoy legal dramas, secret identities, and mob-related stories.<\/p>\n<p>For this and other book reviews, visit my blog, <a href=\"https:\/\/karensiddall.wordpress.com\/2026\/05\/10\/book-review-hunted-by-proxy-proxy-legal-thriller-2-by-manning-wolfe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Boys&#8217;
