Beschreibung

FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE SUNDAY TIMES NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER THE CALLER. Inside a Los Angeles church, on the altar steps, lies the blood-soaked body of a priest. Later, the forensic team discover that, on the victim's chest, the figure 3 has been scrawled in blood. At first, Detective Robert Hunter believes that this is a ritualistic killing. But as more bodies surface, he is forced to reassess. All the victims died in the way they feared the most. Their worst nightmares have literally come true. But how could the killer have known? And what links these apparently random victims? Hunter finds himself on the trail of an elusive and sadistic killer, somone who apparently has the power to read his victims' minds. Someone who can sense what scares his victims the most. Someone who will stop at nothing to achieve his twisted aim. Praise for Chris Carter: 'A touch of Patricia Cornwell about Chris Carter's plotting' Mail on Sunday 'Gripping ...not for the squeamish' Heat 'A page-turner' Express

I'm a little torn between being really mesmerized and feeling normal. When reading a thriller you will expect plottwist to happen. Carter did not disappoint like always. I really couldn't guess the PT at all. However, it wasn't the jaw-dropping PT I had when reading Kruzifix-Killer. Still, I really liked the book and would recommend it!!

This book was a bit disappointing to me. I really did not like the supernatural element in this novel. It really didn't add anything to the story. The original story of a revenge-filled killer was already interesting, it had a lot of psychological points and the mystery of the detective game was well thought-out. So absolutely no need for this magical seer stuff. The feeling and knowing of crimes.. I was so baffled when this first come up in the novel. I thought I got the wrong book, wrong series maybe? Just strange and unhelpful, more like annoying and bothersome. Hopefully the next book is better or I might stop with this series soon. I’m already getting a bit annoyed with the main character- Robert Hunter. A bit too perfect and superhumanly wonderful. A bit stupid but alright, but at the end of the book one noticed logical flaws just to make the main character more heroic. (Spoiler: You have one cop with a broken nose and one who got shot in the arm… which one gets to run off to save the girl?)

4.5/5 First off, if you can’t handle animal cruelty, you should probably stay away from this book, or read with caution! I overall enjoyed the second case of Detective Robert Hunter a lot! The rather short chapters kept me interested, some light / funny moments were sprinkled in, and I loved that we learn a bit more about Hunters past! It also was more graphic and darker in my opinion. And even tho the first book already had an amazing twist at the end, this was even better! Also - I kinda did feel some sympathy with the killer, which is rare.
