Publisher Description
Mickey Dade hates deskwork, but that’s all he’s been doing at Wyatt Hunt’s private investigative service, The Hunt Club. His itch to be active is answered when a body is discovered: It’s Dominic Como, one of San Francisco’s most high profile activists—a charismatic man known as much for his expensive suits as his work on a half-dozen nonprofit boards. One “person of interest” in the case is Como’s business associate, Alicia Thorpe—young, gorgeous, and the sister of one of Mickey’s friends.
As Mickey and Hunt are pulled into the case, they soon learn that the city’s golden fundraiser was involved in some highly suspect deals. And the lovely Alicia knows more about this—and more about Como—than she’s letting on. Treasure Hunt is both a nail-biting thriller and a coming-of-age story, filled with Lescroart’s trademark San Francisco flavors. Mickey Dade, its young protagonist, gradually learns the hard lessons Hunt knows only too well, as the world he thought he knew unravels around him.

" For me it was difficult to get into at first and to understand the storyline but once I caught on, it was enjoyable and witting diaglogue between the characters. "
— Benchpress, 5/2/2013 -
" I've always been a fan of Lescroat's Dismass Hardy series, but his new Hunt series is plodding and boring. The characters don't have the depth of those in his previous stories. I will not read another. "
— Ruth, 4/16/2013 -
" If I could, I would give this book 3 and a half stars. Good story line and the action moved quickly for the most part. The ending was just o.k. Good, but the Dismas hardy books are better. "
— G, 3/25/2013 -
" Very slow start. After about halfway into the book it became very exciting. Very good book. Would have been 4 stars, but due to the slow start I almost stopped reading it several times. "
— Daniel, 4/7/2012 -

— Joe, 3/31/2012 -
" I have previously liked every book I have read by this author. This one...not so much! "
— Joan, 2/25/2012 -
" Had been meaning to read Lescroart for years due to his rep as a mystery writer, but perhaps set my expectations too high. Writing was only so-so, and story a bit hum-drum. "
— Michael, 1/6/2012 -
" Not one of his best. To be reviwed later. "
— Ed, 12/20/2011 -
" I never really get totally engrossed, but I also couldn't stop reading because I needed to know who did it. "
— Jewett, 8/29/2011 -
" First one of his that I've read. Liked the main characters, mystery a little far fetched, but a satisfying thriller. And lots of good food! "
— Jan, 8/5/2011 -
" As a winner of a giveaway, I agreed to review this. I've read a few of Lescroart's books now, and find him to be mildly entertaining. Nothing earth-moving, even though they're all set in San Francisco (sorry). I just prefer grittier fare than this, Bruen, McDermid etc. "
— Vince, 7/24/2011 -
" Good book! Not the regular type of book I read but had great action and adventure! Look forward to reading more of Lescroart's books! "

— Dhartridge, 4/10/2011 -
" Not quite as believable as some others. Love the characters, didn't believe all the plot twists! "
— Susan, 3/30/2011 -
" This was probably not the best introduction to John Lescroart, I imagine, as for much of the book I had no real idea what the characters were going on about w.r.t. previous and apparently significant stories. "
— selenized, 3/29/2011 -
" I gave this book 100 pages of my life and was so bored with it that I finally just skipped to the end. I can't say I've ever done that before. I'll suffer through a book just to finish it, but I just couldn't do it this time. Life is too short! BTW, the ending was boring too. "
— Mckenna, 2/25/2011 -
" This was a very entertaining book. It had a fast-moving, fun story line. The characters were all engaging. "
— Robin, 2/16/2011 -
" Good book! Not the regular type of book I read but had great action and adventure! Look forward to reading more of Lescroart's books! "
